climate skeptics. he doesn t believe the science is real. there s a lot of politics surrounding this, especially in the u.s., but mostly from paris, we re hearing optimism that this could be a real turning point in the fight against climate change. explain the importance of the 1.5 degrees celsius increase. that s a more ambitious goal an two. and it would have been unthinkable to set a 1.5 goal before this climate meeting. i would have never expected that to be on the table, to be honest. i think it came from a moral voice. a tiny country in the middle of the pacific, i visited it earlier this month. their foreign minister got center stage during the paris talks and he was saying if the world warms more than 1.5 degrees, our country may not exist because of how much seas could rise, and he has science
