💬 Examples

  1. Scientists warn that even with immediate emission cuts, an inevitable temperature rise of at least 1.5 degrees Celsius is already locked in due to historical carbon output.

  2. Adaptation strategies for coastal cities must account for the inevitable temperature rise over the next three decades, which will exacerbate sea-level rise and extreme weather events.
