"The world is striving to reach net-zero emissions as we try to ward off
dangerous global warming. But will getting to net-zero actually avert climate
instability, as many assume?
Our new study examined that question. Alarmingly, we found reaching net-zero in
the next few decades will not bring an immediate end to the global heating
problem. Earth’s climate will change for many centuries to come.
And this continuing climate change will not be evenly spread. Australia would
keep warming more than almost any other land area. For example if net-zero
emissions are reached by 2060, the Australian city of Melbourne is still
predicted to warm by 1°C after that point.
But that’s not to say the world shouldn’t push to reach net-zero emissions as
quickly as possible. The sooner we get there, the less damaging change the
planet will experience in the long run."
