The abrupt increase in CO2 levels is disrupting natural carbon sinks, especially the ocean, which is becoming more acidic.

The more we overshoot what natural sinks can remove, the faster carbon levels will increase.

And things can get really dire...

Currently, at 1.3°C over pre-industrial temperatures, it's estimated that 30% of people are exposed to lethal humid heat at least once per year. This figure is only expected to grow and it could even reach 50% by 2100.

Tropical glaciers are a major source of freshwater, but they are melting at unprecedent rates due to #ClimateChange, putting millions at risk.

According ICCI's projections, with 2°C of warming, only 20% of tropical glaciers will remain by 2100.

FYI according to the IPCC, at a warming level of 1.5°C, between 70-90% of #CoralReefs are projected to decline by 2100. Meanwhile, at a warming level of 2°C, coral reefs are projected to almost completely vanish, with a 99% decline by 2100.

The research also highlights the social cost of carbon, which might be understimated by at least a factor of 5.
