A group of leading scientists specializing in climate change has just published a study that warns that humanity is on the brink of irreversible climate catastrophe. The report, dating from 2024, based on the analysis and monitoring of the main biophysical variables, offers a clear and definitive conclusion: we are going in the wrong direction.
At first glance, it is baffling to understand how a phenomenon like global warming – identified more than a century ago, accurately measured for more than fifty years, and widely reported at least since the 1970s – turns out to be so difficult. to stop. Models used in the study show that, if current policies are maintained, the global average temperature could reach 2.7°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100. This figure far exceeds the target of 1. 5°C set in the 2015 Paris Agreements, a limit that the scientific community already considers to be practically unattainable.
