A new study finds that lowering carbon dioxide emissions has another benefit, other than reducing sea level rise.
If the nations of the globe agree to reduce emissions enough to limit global temperatures rise to less that 1.5degC, (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit), at the end of this century, they will save approximately 153 million lives. This is a little less than the Paris Climate Accords’ target of 1.5degC (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit).
