Current Global Plans Can Keep Temps Below 2C

Scientists announced last week that, for the first time, the world is in a position to limit global warming to no more than +2° C over pre-industrial levels, according to an <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04553-z.epdf?sharing_token=XDWxbQl49m3zoNzaj3dvAdRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0M300RSN_AgLPC24xTg-EsjBHT--C2URS0u7zmcqcM_N3XUIWvoYdyN5XmgXv0nBwudFLPbr5z5DFFO6HWxdhJBTuYtjTSsohdnGJQjb2Sr7u28hssPYst3nebtUCRjoFXyDz2J8MJnd_Ii4PWQEg92wMRv3p4WwFAXcRyJR2O-QuMyE9x6ezfcwjKLQHEy9NLJabXvraSfbRyDlwAyPNNGi1_DKHddpHp0a45BZ_r-XPhMEjxg7vCJPvIn4qivs0Gpyms1B79ZnGqL0UsZPhX4x5oYrt_2PrK6C7vSXzfRUGm2BW1nxzb8B8XiB75PVPc%3D&tracking_referrer=amp.theguardian.com" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">analysis published in Nature</a>.
