The planet has warmed past the 1.5 degrees Celsius pre-industrial normal temperature.

“We’re certainly seeing a lot of dangerous climate change now,” said Jeff Masters with the Yale Climate Connection. “Winters have been the most dramatically affected season of all the seasons. They’re so much warmer now, less ice, less snow.”
