00:30Unfortunately, the best science is telling us that dryness, warmth, drought, all those
00:55things, they're going to intensify.
01:55So, the change in the Arctic is not only for the region, but also for the whole global
02:12climate system.
02:13Anything changing in the Arctic affects also the weather experience in terms of heat waves,
02:19in terms of also sometimes cold waves that affect parts of the world.
02:45We now have a prediction that there's about at least a 1 in 5 possibility of the temperature
02:54at least temporarily reaching 1.5 degrees between now and 2024.
02:591.5 degrees, of course, is the lower limit of what the Paris Agreement is trying to limit
03:04the temperature to.
03:06So it will take a while for the reductions in the emissions to take effect, and meanwhile
03:12we're starting to skirt the 1.5 lower limit.
