Abstract

The article explores the impact of a 1.5°C rise in world temperatures, based on the Paris Accords of 2015 which deemed that level of rising temperature as safe. Topics include the current rise in temperature of 1°C, the current predicted rise of temperature by .1°C per decade, how temperatures range fluctuate throughout the globe from the arctic regions to the tropics, heatwaves, heat-stress, drought and too much rain, and sea level rise.
