Paper Summary

Global warming is a big problem for people and nature. The article looks at how warming of 1°, 1.5°, and 2°C, and even more than that, affects our world. It shows that keeping warming to just 1.5°C is better than letting it go higher. The research looks at how warming affects nature, farms, and how we live. The study says it's important to stop the planet from getting much warmer for our own good.
