Limiting global warming to 2C would not 'rule out' extreme impacts

A new study in Nature finds that limiting global warming to 2°C does not guarantee avoiding severe climate extremes and impacts. Researchers analyzed model outcomes for a 2°C world and found that some models predict extreme risks, such as increased droughts and heatwaves, even at this level of warming. The findings highlight the importance of considering high-impact scenarios in risk management and adaptation planning, despite these being less likely outcomes.
