Scientists have developed new models to better understand how governments can work together to ensure global warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2100.
The different models consider a variety of political, socioeconomic and technological factors, including the impacts of economic inequality, energy demand and regional cooperation. The models considered five different so-called Shared Socioeconomic Pathways, or SSPs.
A critical value of the paper is the use of the SSPs, which has helped to systematically explore conditions under which such extreme low targets might become attainable," Keywan Riahi, energy program director at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Austria, said in a news release.
All successful scenarios involved a significant shift away from carbon fuel sources toward low-carbon energy sources. The models suggest a reduced energy demand must also be an important part of any successful SPS. The simulations also showed sustainable development strategies could play an important role in limiting climate change.
The most apparent obstacles to a workable SPS included: socioeconomic inequalities, an ongoing reliance on fossil fuels and poor public policies.
"Fragmentation and pronounced inequalities will likely come hand-in-hand with low levels of innovation and productivity, and thus may push the 1.5 degrees Celsius target out of reach," Riahi said.

Frankly, I would prefer a rise of at least 3 degrees... It’s too damn cold where I am. The real question is though... What is the perfect temperature for earth? 66 degrees? 76 degrees???
I guess only Al Gore and his minions know that.
Models? We need better pictures than the one you’ve posted.
They think Planet Earth is the size of their Brain and they can control it with a computer program ,LOL
I opened the link hoping to see some Victoria Secret models.
We could use 3-5 degrees up here in CT, easily.
Models. Is there anything they don't know?
Well the cat's out of that bag...
Master Goebbels lives on. The price of a cooler planet is mass death and a return to the caves.
Sorry. Correction needed. I have a serious problem with people trying to break the laws of physics, as the wackos are currently exerting themselves to accomplish with my money, and ultimately my life.
First the “scientists” investigated nothing about or in the basic “models” that predict alarmist levels of WARMING.
There only “model” was to take, like a religion, a belief in the alarmist climate models, and then “model” various scenarios of attacking/reducing human made CO2.
It’s junk science.
“economic inequality, energy demand and regional cooperation.”
In other words, take money from Whitey and give it to those who would rather not work for the money.
This will trigger research to prove a 1.5 degree increase will be catastrophic.
Almost anything “Could be”.
And when you thought junk science could not get more idiotic.....
Glad I did not read even a sentence more. Goofballs in pursuit of gooberment hand outs. Since covert dishonest presentations for a decade have fallen flat this author is putting the lie out front. Not natural for this class of would be tyrants—but good for him.
Hmm...yeah, if only we had world socialism and central economic planning so we could prevent the planet from overheating. Great.
