"Exceeding our emissions targets [temporarily] is known as a #ClimateOvershoot. It may lead to changes that won’t be reversible in our lifetime.

These changes include #SeaLevelRise, less functional ecosystems, higher risks of #SpeciesExtinction, and #glacier and #permafrost loss.

We are already seeing many of these changes."

Even temporary global warming above 2℃ will affect life in the oceans for centuries

A climate overshoot that creates warmer oceans with lower oxygen levels will reduce the suitable habitat for many marine species long after CO₂ levels have peaked and declined.

'If we significantly overshoot the temperature targets of the Paris Agreement, many #ClimateChange impacts will be irreversible. Therefore, every effort should be made to drastically reduce #emissions now. We can then avoid a significant #ClimateOvershoot, reach net-zero emissions by mid-century and keep warming “well below” 2℃.'
