Scientists warn cryosphere faces permanent damage from 1.5C overshoot

A UN-backed report warns that even temporary overshoot of the Paris Agreement's 1.5C warming target could cause lasting damage to glaciers and polar ice sheets. Reporting on the findings, environment journalist Ajit Niranjan highlights that the world's frozen regions, from Antarctica to the Arctic, may never fully recover from such temperature rises. Scientists say the risk of permanent cryosphere loss makes staying under the target critical.

Why now: A newly released UN-backed scientific report on irreversible ice loss from a 1.5C overshoot is drawing attention.
