[2] I selected internet sources as evidence so that the statements are easily verifiable. The URLs of most/longer links have been shortened because otherwise everything wouldn't have fit in the description. There are so many more sources and pieces of information that unfortunately don't fit here. If you have any further information/sources, please add them in the comments!
The most important source was the reports of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the World Climate Council, which has 195 member governments and more than 120 observer organizations.
Quote: “The assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are considered by the scientific community to be the most credible and well-founded representation of the current state of research on climate and its changes.”

At the same time, the IPCC is sometimes accused of even underestimating the dangers of climate change, partly because political interests also influence its reports.

[15] 1.5° limit/sea level: I took this statement from the following article:
https://nym.ag/2Yx9AOV
This refers to the “Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate”. However, the figure of 280 million does not appear verbatim in this report. However, it is said that currently 680 million people live less than 10m above sea level:

If the 280 million figure is not verifiable, I have made a mistake. If anyone can find the source, please post it in the comments. Thank you!
