Global warming will exceed limit, UN says in a report that maps path to get back below danger zone

A U.N. Environment Programme report released Wednesday concludes the planet will soon exceed the Paris Agreement's temperature threshold, abandoning hope of preventing that milestone outright. Instead, officials and scientists are pushing a strategy called overshoot: let warming exceed the limit, then use fossil fuel cuts and carbon removal to bring temperatures back down later.

In the interim, the report anticipates decades of intensified disasters, rising seas, and extinctions as the price of the delay.
