According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report released in August 2021, human-induced climate change has reached every corner of the planet, threatening to surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius (34.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of global warming within two decades. It was only possible to achieve such stark certainty by paying intense attention to detail throughout the project. The report portrays the most comprehensive picture yet of how human activity affects the climate, citing more than 14,000 studies and endorsed by 195 countries.
