The IPCC notes that there are already enough greenhouse gases in the air to reach that point, but the smog and pollution created by those same fossil fuels are paradoxically keeping their own heating effects in check. Governments must immediately enact broad emissions-targeted changes, the report states, or limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5\u20132 degrees Celsius will be &#8220;beyond reach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Additionally, the landmark study demonstrates a direct causal link between the atmospheric warming caused by human activity and particular extreme weather events \u2013 like the severe drought plaguing the U.S. West, and the wildfires that have blazed there and abroad \u2013 which will grow more frequent and severe as temperatures continue to rise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The crisis may pose no greater threat, however, than to the water that makes up 71 percent of Earth&#8217;s surface. Warming has already caused a significant decline in ocean oxygen levels, altered rainfall cycles, and raised sea levels, which most scientists now predict to climb about a half foot more than previously estimated, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/science\/archive\/2021\/08\/latest-ipcc-report-catastrophe\/619698\/\">Atlantic<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), researchers with the United Nations released a new report on Monday outlining the stark global impacts of the crisis.
