Scientists warn of irreversible consequences as global warming reaches 1.5°C within six years

Global warming will reach 1.5°C within the next six years, scientists warn. This will lead to irreversible consequences for the Earth. In 20 years, the temperature will rise by 2°C. One of the main reasons is carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Without reducing them, the carbon balance that helps to keep warming within acceptable limits will be exhausted by 2030.
