Every single one of these scenarios suggested that the Earth will reach at least 1.5C of warming in the next 20 years. “With every increment of global warming, changes get larger” concluded the IPCC, compounding the likelihood of extreme weather events such as this summer’s heatwaves and hurricanes in Europe and the US respectively (see image).
