ScienceRising emissions and temperatures: The cost of Trump's climate retreat is now clear

The UN Environment Programme’s annual Emissions Gap Report says the world is on course to exceed the 1.5-degree warming limit. Temperatures could rise 2.8 degrees this century under current policies, or 2.6 degrees even if countries meet their pledges. The report says the outlook has worsened after the US withdrew from climate action, but rapid fossil-fuel cuts could still limit the overshoot and bring warming back below 1.5 degrees by 2100.
