Save twice the ice by limiting global warming
A new study finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius, at least 54 per cent could be preserved -- more than twice as much ice as in a 2.7 C scenario.
Saving twice the ice by limiting global warming
A new study with ETH Zurich finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5°C, at least 54% could be preserved—more than twice as much ice as in a 2.7°C scenario.
If global warming is limited to 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels, at least 54% of the mass of non-polar glaciers could be conserved, more than twice as much as in a 2.7°C scenario.
Science Writing, 29 May (EFE).- Only 24% of the current glacial mass will remain if the world heats up 2.7 degrees, the trajectory established by current climate policies. On the contrary, limiting warming to 1.5 degrees — the Paris Agreement objective — would preserve 53% of that mass. This is the main conclusion of a study conducted by a team of 21 scientists from ten countries, who used eight models to simulate and calculate the potential los…
If we succeed in limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees instead of 2.7 degrees, we could save twice as much ice. This is shown by a study involving the University of Innsbruck and ETH Zurich.
New study shows extreme glacier mass loss already at 2 degrees Celsius; more than twice if current policies continue
Kathmandu, May 29 (PTI) More than twice as much global glacier mass will remain if countries restrict temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to the warming level of 2.7 degrees Celsius resulting from the current policies, says a new study released. Glaciers are even more sensitive to global warming than previously estimated, and, if the world warms to 2.7 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial levels, only 24 per cent of the p…
