Title:
Is 1.5C feasible?
Abstract:
With the planned publication of the IPCC special report on 1.5C on 9 October, there is still a debate about how feasible such a target is. I will discuss the report's findings in the context of several aspects relating to the feasibility of achieving 1.5C. On the physical climate side, internal variability, climate sensitivity, short -lived climate forcers and Earth system feedbacks all affect our chances, on the economic and social science side - it’s the strength of mitigation efforts..
