Bill Gates Says Chances of Meeting 2C Warming Goal Fading Fast
The billionaire clean-energy investor said it would be “fortunate” if temperature rise stays below 3C.
A planet that warms by 3C from pre-industrial levels could regularly expose up to 50 million people to temperatures that are beyond human survivability, a 2018 study in Lancet Planetary Health showed.
New York City might experience three once-in-a-century flooding events every year while as many as 52 times more people would face dangerous heat in African cities.
The amount of land destroyed by wildfires globally would double and the Amazon rainforest would turn into grassland.
