And this was an agreement produced a decade ago, it's called the PERS agreement. And if you compare keeping the temperature below 1.5 degrees to a warming of 2 degrees, this could easily double the population exposed to extreme heat. Summers of sea ice free in the Arctic are now expected to occur once every 100 years under 1.5 degrees C, at 2 degrees C. It causes this to happen once in a decade. Coral reefs would also be impacted 29% more and 38% more permafrost would thaw at 2 degrees C from 1.5 degrees C. And to keep below 2 degrees C, countries need to reduce emissions by about 35% compared to levels of in 2019, and they have to do this by 2035. And projections indicate we could warm 2.8 degrees C, that's 5 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100.
