Scientists: even temporary 1.5°C overshoot risks permanent glacier losses
A UN report warns that even temporary overshooting of the Paris climate agreement target (1.5°C) may permanently damage glaciers and polar ice caps. Scientists recommend that after the inevitable crossing of this threshold, warming be brought back below 1°C. The report debunks the myth that overshooting to 2–3°C would be manageable or even preferable to urgent emissions cuts.
