Earth is on track to surpass the safe temperature limit due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. Rather than accepting defeat, scientists and U.N. officials suggest that we attempt to curb excessive warming and then lower the temperature back to the agreed-upon level. However, this will require decades of increased weather-related disasters, rising sea levels, species extinctions, and melting glaciers and ice caps. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres stated that humanity is \"speeding past the limit to avoid climate catastrophe.\" The new strategy involves getting back below the danger zone after a period of over-the-limit warming.",
  "summary": "In a strategic retreat in the fight against climate change, the United Nations has acknowledged that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst of global warming's harms. So now the world must figure out how to get temperatures below the danger zone and back to safety, officials say.
