One of the more serious consequences of overshooting the 1.5 C target is triggering tipping points (around 17 in total) that will lead to irreversible, permanent & catastrophic climate change. It must also be noted that these 17 critical ecosystems are threatened by other human-based stressors in addition to global warming, making remaining below the 1.5 C target even more important. It's expected that the upcoming El Nino event in 2023 - 2024 might temporarily push global warming past the 1.5 C target - scary spice! We live in interesting times indeed!
Multiple tipping points have already been breached. 2023 will be a year of extremely hot temperatures (wet bulb conditions) and food shortages as fresh water continues to disappear.

"There are huge non climate effects of carbon dioxide which are overwhelmingly favorable which are not taken into account. To me that's the main issue that the earth is actually growing greener. This has been actually measured from satellites the whole earth is growing greener as a result of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. So it's increasing agricultural yields, it's increasing the forests, it's increasing all kinds of growth in the biological world and that's more important and more certain than the effects on climate." ~Freeman Dyson, Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.

Please be aware that the IPCC's (Scenario A) modelled predictions are junk. Back in 1990 they predicted a warming of 0.30-0.34°C per decade. Of course we've only had 0.13°C per decade, which is well below the IPCC's lower bound of 0.20°. IPCC’s business-as-usual scenario was founded on the assumption that CO2 emissions would increase by 10-20% by 2025. The truth, however, is that global CO2 emissions are not 20% above their 1990 level but 60% above it! But there is still no crisis just an unexciting set of observations. All the climate models run too hot, 100% of them.
Adequate actions will not be enacted by all governments in time. What off the shelf solutions are available to deal with the floods, drought, sea level rise, heat waves, etc. ? Is there an adequate supply of solar panels , air conditioners, vertical farms, and safe land (housing) for everyone? There are not enough electric vehicles and charging stations worldwide. Full scale production of electric motors for boating is not available yet, especially for large ships. Hopefully there are businesses making plans to address these and other issues.

What are the reports saying that will happen once these tipping points are triggered?

Points well made. very open discussion needs to happen on this so that SOME agreements can be reached.
Quite informative
Great clarity
Efforts should be boosted to save Earth
Great summary! Thanks!!!❤
What exactly does the 1.5 degree Target mean?, Does it mean the increase of global average temperature has to be limited to 1.5 degree
Thanks for sharing
How scientific is the 1.5 C level?
very
Initially the tipping point ranged between 2 - 2.5 degrees(according to climate scientists), however industrial lobbyists and political reluctance toned it down to 1.5 degrees to make it more palatable.
Precise, thanks for posting
What are the steps that individual can take to contribute in this.
1. Solar Power
2. Buying local esp daily consumables like staples, vegetables and fruits
3. Plant based diet
4. Avoiding Single use plastics
But for the shift to happen at scale it has be driven by Policies.
Although a policy shift is needed to have a sizeable impact, individual can still do their part by,
Opting for more sustainable way of life
Reducing the use of artificial products
Go for a balanced food which must include dairy and meat products (not the heavily processed ones), because they have been part of the human civilization and assimilate us back into the natural food web
Avoid plastics wherever one can
Instruments of luxury puts a heavy toll on the climate
Plant trees and try to conserve rain water in whatever little ways one can.

stop eating meat
Wonderful explanation
Good summary. 👌🍁
Thankq ma'am...
first time seeing you so i just want to tell you that you as your voice is beautiful😇

CO2 does not cause warming.
lol ok
5:15 self note
Looking good avantika, keep up the great work!
Poor explanation!! Points too are vague
Nothing about animal agriculture...nothing at all, are you serious at all?
Any aspirants

Very lucid
I really hope the United Nations and IPCC find someway to stop the global warming and stop the Greenhouse Gases lf not the Earth dies and so do we ☠☠
Ipcc is propoganda by modi haters.
Without limiting consumption nothing.........
