1.5 C is not an arbitrary figure, it triggers tipping points.

The Global Tipping Points Report 2025 tells us that "The world has entered a new reality. Global warming will soon exceed 1.5°C. This puts humanity in the danger zone where multiple climate tipping points pose catastrophic risks to billions of people."

A tipping point is a trap door to chaos. They are getting very close.

First to go would be coral reefs. About 25 per cent of all marine species, including approximately 4,000 species of fish, rely on coral reefs.

If the reefs go, the livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people goes too. And the hungry will be on the move.
