The International Cryosphere Climate Initiative (ICCI), of which vice-director Gustaf Hugelius is a part of, has recently released a new State of the Cryosphere report. The report underlines the urgency and importance of recognizing the fact that we cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice. It stresses that 1.5°C is the only option, and that the 2 °C target put forward by the Paris agreement is way too high.
