In the last decade, humankind has been releasing about 54 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide every year intothrough various industrial activities. The failure to curb these emissions means that humankind can now only release about 250 more gigatonnes of carbon dioxide before global warming reaches the 1.5 degrees C limit.
