Quotes that support the claim

"The 1.5C target was agreed because there is very strong evidence that the impacts would become much more extreme as the world gets closer to 2C. Some changes could become irreversible."
"Scientists say that every 0.1C of temperature increase brings with it greater risks for the planet - longer heatwaves, more intense storms and wildfires."
Its overarching goal is to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels” and pursue efforts “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.”
