Title: Key points of the IPCC SPM report

Read the statement given on each card and think of which answer you may give. By turning the card, you can reveal the answer as provided by the IPCC SPM report.

Q: With which confidence does the IPCC estimate that global warming will reach 1.5 ℃ between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate?
A: With high confidence.

Q: How about entrusting ourselves to that we will have the technology in place to drive global warming towards 1.5 ℃ after 2050, even if that means that we will exceed 1.5 of global warming?
A: "Future climate-related risks depend on the rate, peak and duration of warming. In the aggregate, they are larger if global warming exceeds 1.5 ℃ before returning to that level by 2100 than if global warming gradually stabilizes at 1.5 ℃, especially if the peak temperature is high (e.g., about 2 ℃) (high confidence)."

Q: What is the impact of the expected global warming on ecosystems?
A: With high confidence, some irreversible loss of the ecosystems will occure.

Q: Until and past which year will the sea level, as a consequence of global warming, continue to rise?
A: 2100

Q: How large would the rise in sea level be if we would loose the Greenland ice sheets?
A: With medium confidence, this would be in the magnitude of multiple meters.

Q: What is CDR?
A: CDR is an acronym for Carbon Dioxide Removal, an umbrella term for techniques serving to this end.
