Original: You Know That Terrifying Global Warning Threshold They've Been Worried About for a Decade? Climate Change Is Speeding Up So Much That Now We're Due to Cross It In Just Over a Year

The warning renews debate over how quickly emissions must fall and whether that goal is still within reach.

Why now: New projections of accelerating warming suggest the iconic 1.5C climate target may be crossed far sooner than expected.
