Abstract

The article explores efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Particular focus is given to insights from Piers Forster, a professor of climate physics at the University of Leeds, Great Britain, and a lead author on the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). A multiplayer video-game inspired strategy is offered. Additional topics discussed include the importance of switching to renewable energy sources, the sensitivity of the climate to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses, and phasing out the agricultural use of cattle.
