Someone doing some archive digging to show concerns about warming, in the 1970’s: > **[The lost history of what Americans knew about climate change in the 1960s](https://grist.org/science/lost-history-climate-1960s-clean-air-act-supreme-court/)** > > It wasn't just scientists who were worried, but Congress, the White House, and even Sports Illustrated, newly unearthed documents show.

Latest study concludes that 1.5C warming is now almost impossible. Its a 50% chance of 1.6C (or more) but with a likely skew towards 2C. > [@](#): > > Feasibility of peak temperature targets in light of institutional constraints > > Despite faster-than-expected progress in clean energy technology deployment, global annual CO2 emissions have increased from 2020 to 2023. The feasibility of limiting warming to 1.5 °C is therefore questioned. Here we present a model intercomparison study that accounts for emissions trends until 2023 and compares cost-effective scenarios to alternative scenarios with institutional, geophysical and technological feasibility constraints and enablers informed by previous literature. > > Our results show that the most ambitious mitigation trajectories with updated climate information still manage to limit peak warming to below 1.6 °C (‘low overshoot’) with around 50% likelihood. > > However, feasibility constraints, especially in the institutional dimension, decrease this maximum likelihood considerably to 5–45%. Accelerated energy demand transformation can reduce costs for staying below 2 °C but have only a limited impact on further increasing the likelihood of limiting warming to 1.6 °C. Our study helps to establish a new benchmark of mitigation scenarios that goes beyond the dominant cost-effective scenario design.
