Time to 1.5 | Preview

Humanity has a mission right now: to keep global heating to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels. Science tells us that we have less than a decade to do it, and that if we don't, the consequences will be dire.That's humanity's mission, and that's what season 4 of Threshold is about. It’s called “Time to 1.5.” In this season, we’re going to grapple with what it means to be living through this pivotal moment, when what we do and don't do will have impacts that ricochet out for thousands of years. We’ll take you to the front lines of the efforts to keep 1.5 alive—the halls of COP26 in Glasgow, cities across the globe, back in time, and into the atmosphere. "Time to 1.5" arrives February 1.Find out more at www.thresholdpodcast.orgOur reporting is made possible by listeners like you.
