The „foreseeable exceeding“ of 1.5 degrees of global warming „should be communicated openly“. The German Climate Consortium (DKK) argues for this in a position paper, which is exclusively available to Table.Briefings. Such communication is important, as the „design of climate adaptation should be based on currently plausible temperature scenarios and prepare for them“. The DKK warns that the „political decisions taken so far to achieve climate policy goals“ are „inadequate“. According to the largest network for the self-organization of German climate science, which currently has 27 member institutions, the „great social inequality“ in particular stands in the way of decarbonization by 2050.
