Despite increased pledges and targets to tackle climate change, the world is currently on course for warming of around 2.7% by then, far above the Paris Agreement of 1.5%.
Kate Lamble examines a new report which attempts to quantify the human cost of climate change, and where it would no longer be safe to live.

Does Paris have a public urination problem? - BBC News
#BBCNews #France #Paris
Though public urination is an issue in most big cities, in Paris, peeing in public has become so commonplace that locals have given it its own name: ‘les pipis sauvages' or 'wild pee'.

But why is Paris so prone to public urination?
