  1. UN Warns Earth Will Exceed Global Warming Limit

    The United Nations warns that Earth has lost the opportunity to prevent global heating from surpassing critical targets. Global heating will reach at least 1.8 degrees, leaving no good outcomes for the planet according to UN officials. A new report outlines a strategic retreat in the fight against climate change, acknowledging that the world must now focus on figuring out how to bring temperatures back down below the danger zone and return to safety.

    Why it matters

    Exceeding the established climate threshold triggers severe local impacts, including extreme weather events, increased flooding, and a rise in tick populations. The UN report maps a path toward getting back below the danger zone after an inevitable period of climate overshoot.

    What is confirmed

    • Global heating will hit at least 1.8C according to a UN warning.
    • The United Nations stated that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst global warming harms.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Temperatures exceeding the limit will cause more ticks for Long Island.
