Scientists warn of permanent cryosphere damage if 1.5C is exceeded

Original: Cryosphere faces permanent damage when world overshoots 1.5C, scientists warn https:// programming.dev/post/58889008

Scientists warn that the world's cryosphere — glaciers, ice sheets, permafrost and frozen seas — could suffer permanent damage if global temperatures overshoot the 1.5C limit set by the Paris Agreement. The warning suggests some melting and thawing may be irreversible even if temperatures later return to lower levels.

Why now: New scientific warnings about irreversible ice loss connect to ongoing debate over exceeding the Paris climate target
