By the end of this century, warming could potentially reach 4☌, possibly more.Ĭlimate change will increase the risk of different problems around the world. But unless we reduce emissions rapidly, the world is likely to exceed 2☌ of warming. In a recent report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) showed the difference between 1.5☌ and 2☌ of global warming. Forest mortality and increased risk of fires.Some of the impacts from these changes to our climate system include: Our climate system is finely balanced, and small changes can have significant consequences. Changes to the climate systemĬlimate change can affect our climate system in lots of different ways:įind out more about these and other indicators of climate change on our global climate dashboard and extremes dashboard.
Overall, human activity is warming our planet. We know that greenhouse gases, aerosol emissions and land use affect our climate. However, the sooner we cut emissions, the smaller the changes will be. Even if we were to stop all emissions today, we would not prevent some changes. The level of climate change we will see depends on how quickly we cut emissions of dangerous greenhouse gases. The effects of climate change are real, and they are already happening. It places certain species at an increased risk of extinction. A changing climate impacts crop growth and human health, while many people may need to leave their homes.
