Is the 1.5 degree Celsius climate target still within reach?
Demonstrators pretend to resuscitate the Earth while advocating for the 1.5 degree warming goal to survive at the COP27 UN Climate Summit, Nov. 16, 2022, in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
Scientists have confirmed that 2022 was among the hottest years on record. The world is closing in on the limit of keeping warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. Is it still within reach? And, violence continues in southern Peru this week, spreading to the tourist city of Cusco on Wednesday, and prompting curfews in some parts of the country. At least 48 people have died during clashes between police and protesters. Also, Ukrainian Cpl. Andrii Shadrin, 27, serves in a military unit that repairs and replaces equipment damaged on the war’s front lines. From his makeshift base in Donetsk, Shadrin talks about what he’s seen in the besieged towns of Bakhmut and Soledar. Plus, Noma, Copenhagen’s fine-dining star, closes its doors.
