To below the 1. 5 degrees celsius . When we produced our landmark report five years ago, we said it was possible within the Laws Of Physics and chemistry, and the biggest obstacle to keeping within the limit was actually on the social and institutional side. We, i think, now need to move to the position, we have to look very hard at whether we will be pushing against technical and economic barriers in terms of limiting warming to1. 5. It is not absolutely impossible, but the chances are diminishing. And, really, its hanging on a thread at the moment. Right. Isnt that a tactful way of saying, im not in a position to be conclusive about this, but as far as im concerned, as an experienced scientist, it is simply not going to happen . The average Temperature Rise is going to go appreciably beyond 1. 5. Yeah, ipcc s job is to assess the literature that we have out there already, and we havent got quite the literature yet to absolutely write off the 1. 5 limit. And we need to be very careful
We will continue to forge ahead to do that, but that decision, as youve said, on so many levels, is totally wrong headed, and well be happy to work with congress, with this committee, on an appropriate response. Those comments from the us Secretary Of State came as he faced criticism from democrats and republicans over the administrations israel policy.

This report, from our middle east correspondent lucy williamson, contains some details and images you may find distressing. Sufiane abbuseleh survived months of war unscathed.

Thanks for the invite. It is great to have you in this studio. Lets start with a blunt first question. Is it time for the International Community to junk this idea that theres any possibility of limiting worldwide Temperature Rise to below the 1. 5 degrees celsius . When we produced our landmark report five years ago, we said it was possible within the Laws Of Physics and chemistry, and the biggest obstacle to keeping within the limit was actually on the social and institutional side. We, i think, now need to move to the position, we have to look very hard at whether we will be pushing against technical and economic barriers in terms of limiting warming to1. 5.

A lot of silver linings. So it happened. But there are certainly a lot of silver linings. 50 better, nine. A lot of silver linings. So better, nine. , ~ , a lot of silver linings.
