BELEM, Brazil (AP) — The world’s climate leaders are conceding that Earth’s warming will shoot past a hard limit they set a decade ago in hopes of keeping the planet out of a danger zone. But they’re not conceding defeat.
United Nations officials, scientists, and analysts are pinning their hopes on eventually forcing global temperatures back below the red line they set in the 2015 Paris Agreement, which sought to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) since preindustrial times.
Busting that limit and then coming back down is called “overshoot.” In the way climate science uses the term, it doesn’t mean zooming by a red line and never looking back — it’s all about seeing the line in the rear view mirror and making a U-turn to get back to lower temperatures.
After years of considering the 1.5 mark a strict no-go situation, officials have in the past few weeks started talking about limiting the time and magnitude of Earth’s stay in the danger zone.
Many scientists have said it’s inevitable the 1.5 degree mark will be passed. The mark won’t be considered breached until Earth goes beyond it over a 10-year average. It stands now at about 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit), and last year alone actually exceeded the 1.5 mark.
For years, U.N. officials have insisted that 1.5 is still alive. But now, even though they insist the goal is still pertinent, those same leaders in the last few weeks have acknowledged that it will likely be breached in coming years or decades.
“The science is clear: We can and must bring temperatures back down to 1.5 Celsius after any temporary overshoot,” U.N. climate chief Simon Stiell said as this year’s conference began.

I’m so frightened. Hold me.
So that “tipping point” these guys said was too late...isn’t.
WTF is a climate leader?
I am sure it is a hugh and series title.
Climate “Leaders”
Climate “Activists”
You can lead an Activist to The Coming Ice Age, but you can’t make them drink.
It mean B.S. Nothing more.

(nothing)
These “climate kooks” don’t actually believe in the climate hoax.
It’s just a way of controlling the population and fleecing them of their hard earned money in order to fill their owns pockets.
And Newscum really looks and acts like a cocaine kook!
His arms swirl around like two snakes.
Follow the money.
Climate grant illustrates growth in philanthropy-funded news
NEW YORK (AP) — The Associated Press said Tuesday that it is assigning more than two dozen journalists across the world to cover climate issues, in the news organization’s largest single expansion paid for through philanthropic grants.
The announcement illustrates how philanthropy has swiftly become an important new funding source for journalism — at the AP and elsewhere — at a time when the industry’s financial outlook has been otherwise bleak.
Five organizations are contributing to the effort: the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Quadrivium, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Walton Family Foundation.
It means they need to get real jobs.
The mark won’t be considered breached until Earth goes beyond it over a 10-year average.
Sooo, we will breach the mark in ten years, get back to me when we do...
Seth, Seth, Seth;
You remain an ignorant Climate slut....
That line is a perfect response to the GW Cultists. It's just sarcastic enough without being mean.
Polar bears hardest hit.
Climate leader = a grifter who makes $$$$ peddling this “climate” nonsense.
Exhibit A ..... Al Gore, who has made hundreds of millions of dollars peddling this scam while flying around in a private jet.
They don’t know really what causes global warming (nee climate change) since we’re still in a global cooling phase. Since they don’t know what causes the condition, how can they come up with solutions to remedy the situation since we’re in a global cooling period. I know. They need oodles of MORE MONEY to put in the gigantic sinkhole (there own pockets for translation).
AP is the top propagandist for the climate BS. They will never give up the con, never.
Hillary is at her “Tipping Over” point
,,, Bill Gates has taken a relaxed approach to climate now, realizing the money is in forced vaccinations. Picking up so much Pfizer stock determined his variance in loyalty to manufactured panic causes.
How?
The only way is to kill 100s of millions of human beings now.
Are you willing to step forward into the slaughterhouse to save the Earth? Or does some other poor wretch have to die for you so you can live on in this "saved" planet?
