Let’s get smart about the 1.5 degree global warming limit
Manage episode 427949322 series 2542091
In June, global temperatures had surpassed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for 12 months straight, encroaching on the goal set in the Paris climate accord. We’ll explain why scientists use 1.5 degrees as a key benchmark and why it’s important to have hard conversations about climate change. Then, we’ll get into an investigation revealing how insurers profited from false diagnoses of Medicare patients. And, a billion-dollar donation to a medical school and new developments in textile recycling make us smile.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “In a troubling milestone, Earth surpasses 1.5 degrees C of warming for 12 consecutive months” from LA Times
- “June 2024 marks 12th month of global temperature reaching 1.5°C above pre-industrial” from Copernicus
- “Burning Questions: What’s the deal with 1.5 degrees?” from Marketplace
