>Warming of 2 °C will lead to an average global ocean rise of 20 cm, but more than 90% of coastal areas will experience greater rises. If warming continues above 2 °C, then, by 2100, sea level will be rising faster than at any time during human civilization, and 80% of the global coastline is expected to exceed the 95th percentile upper limit of 1.8 m for mean global ocean sea level rise.

Contrarily, planktonic foraminifera diversified, and dinoflagellates bloomed. Success was also enjoyed by the mammals, who radiated extensively around this time.

"Critical" is not dramatic enough word, how do you intend to keep people anxious about the problem they have almost no power to prevent using such weak words?

Next time go with "terrifying" or "horrifying" to keep people properly depressed.

And an image if burning planet of course, because that's what happens when temps rise 1.5C
