Large cli­mate un­cer­tainty even with a 1.5-de­gree tem­per­a­ture in­crease

The Paris climate agreement includes the aim of limiting average global warming to 1.5°C. There has previously been little research on how climate might look across the world and over time with this level of temperature increase. Climate scientists have now shown that even this lower level of warming could lead to very different consequences on a regional level.
