Global climate impacts that are already unfolding under the current 1.1 degrees C (1.98 degrees F) of warming — from melting ice to devastating heat waves and more intense storms — show the urgency of minimizing temperature increase.

5. PROBLEM STATEMENT deforestation has decreased significantly in amazon this year, the forest is still burning at an alarming rate because the greenhouse effect of excess CO2 and methane emissions makes the rainforest hotter and drier, resulting in wildfires.
