Holding long-term global warming to two degrees Celsius -- the fallback target of the Paris climate accord -- is now "impossible," according to a stark new analysis published by leading scientists.

Welp, it’s official. Been a good(?) run everyone. Here is the paper that is referred to.

Edit: So, reading the actual paper, the article is somewhat sensationalized (shocker, i know). It is still possible to prevent collapse, but it requires extensive and fairly quick reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
