New research quantifies what it would take to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels: keeping a vast majority of Earth's remaining fossil fuels tucked underground by 2050.

To avoid the worst consequences of climate change — worsening extreme weather, irreversible ecosystem shifts, loss of life and economic hardship — scientists say the world must limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The only way to do that, they say, is by making deep cuts to fossil fuel emissions.

New research quantifies exactly what it would take: keeping a vast majority of Earth's remaining fossil fuels tucked underground.The study, published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, found that nearly 60% of the planet's remaining oil and natural gas and 90% of its coal reserves should remain in the ground by 2050, underscoring that most regions around the world must reach peak fossil fuel production now or within the next decade to avoid the critical climate threshold.

It'll depend on our policy makers to ActForClimate. Real ClimateAction & sustainability are must at every step/ stage of development to control CarbonEmission, GlobalWarming & ClimateChange.

Here is all details. If you interested click here.

or if the distance of the earth to the f====g sun changes

Does the research also state ways to prevent wild fires and volcano eruptions? Justasking
