“Until we get to net-zero emissions, extreme weather will only get worse, and it’s already damaging crops and pushing up the price of food all over the world” guest researcher at PIK @KotzMaximilian in @CNN on how climate change is driving food inflation.

New PIK study: Ambitious action on land use and food systems can limit warming to 1.5°C and ease pressure on multiple planetary boundaries, especially with food system reform. Yet: all five assessed planetary boundaries still exceeded by 2100.

“It would be a huge mistake to deviate from 1.5.” PIK Director @jrockstrom and other leading scientists spoke to @NewYorker about the realities of delayed emissions reductions and the dire consequences of giving up hope.

Scientists have long insisted that we can and must limit global warming to 1.5 degrees—and some still do, even as that grim milestone nears.

🥵The weather station at PIK in Potsdam has recorded the driest first six months of a year since measurements began in 1893 – with only 146.8mm of rainfall. The long-term average for this location in the first half of the year is around 300mm.
