Why is th planet about to reach its planetary limit"1.5°C"and how can we prevent it?
Importance
Why is it important to maintain 1.5 C of temperature on the planet?
Approximately 70% of all crop species rely upon the pollination of insects.
As humans, we are reliant on all of the natural resources that we are systematically destroying through overproduction.
One system component beyond its tipping point will cause other components to exceed their critical limitations.
Since the Industrial Revolution we have emitted almost 2,400 billion tons of C.D.
By now we've reached a point of C.D concentration in the atmosphere of about 415 million.

Droughts - floods

Climate
In the next 30 years, the global economy should be free of fossil fuels to stop all of these dangers for our panet and all the species that live in it.
All around the world there are environmental problems
Antarctica -O- lost in mass and ice, 5m-50m of water increase on ocean.
Australia -O- deforestation and forest fires.
Amazon jungle -O- from jungle to savanna= C.D to atmosphere.
Greenland -O- Ricing temperatures and melting of ice.
Effects of these problems in nature:
Cities begin to be impacted as sea levels rise due to ice melting
Deforestation: loss of biodiversity.
