A recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reveals that global temperatures are likely to rise by 1.5°C by the year 2030 — which means that humans have just 12 years left to stop global warming. The alarming report also shows that human activities have caused approximately 1.0°C of global warming over the years, leading to a rise in the number of hot days, with the highest increase felt in the tropics. With this, risks of droughts, tropical cyclones, and heavy precipitation are also predicted to increase.
