Scientific American: Astonishment was universal last December when the Paris Agreement on climate change included the aspiration to limit warming to 1.5° C above pre-industrial levels, a much tougher target than the standard of 2°, now seen as too risky. It was a remarkable triumph for a long campaign by the small island states, proving that even tiny nations with a powerful moral case can change the world. But what does a global aim of 1.5° mean? Is it achievable? How much difference would it make? A conference...

Guardian: Its getting hot out there. Every one of the past 14 months has broken the global temperature record. Ice cover in the Arctic sea just hit a new low, at 525,000 square miles less than normal. And apparently were not doing much to stop it: according to Professor Kevin Anderson, one of Britains leading climate scientists, weve already blown our chances of keeping global warming below the safe threshold of 1.5 degrees. If we want to stay below the upper ceiling of 2 degrees, though, we still...
