Approaching dangerous impacts of global climate change
Ač, Alexander
Current global policy efforts are focused on limiting the global rise in mean temperature to well below a 2 K\nwarming compared to the pre-industrial temperature. It is questionable if achieving such goal is still feasible.\nHere, I review published works that suggesting that to keep global warming below or at a 2 K level cannot\nbe considered as safe, as is often assumed. A large body of studies have emerged recently investigating\nthe impacts of global climate change (GCC) at a 1.5 K or 2 K warming. The impacts range from changes in\nthe hydrological cycle, increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, triggering of change\nfeedback processes at various spatio-temporal scales, affecting biological processes from the molecular to\necosystem levels, and to disrupting socio-economic conditions. In this short review, I present the latest scientific\nknowledge regarding some of the most important impacts of GCC on natural ecosystems, humanmade\nsystems, and societies.
