Scientists: final warning on climate crisis – act now or it’s too late

Scientists have delivered a “final warning” on the global climate crisis.  This as rising greenhouse gas emissions push the world to the brink of irrevocable damage that only swift and drastic action can avert.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), made up of the world’s leading climate scientists, set out the final part of its mammoth sixth assessment report on Monday 20 March.

Technology is providing solutions but the climate forecast is worsening, scientists say in major report.

In sober language, the IPCC set out the devastation that has already been inflicted on swathes of the world.  Extreme weather caused by climate breakdown has led to increased deaths from intensifying heatwaves in all regions, millions of lives and homes destroyed in droughts and floods, millions of people facing hunger, and “increasingly irreversible losses” in vital ecosystems.

UN secretary general, António Guterres, said: “Humanity is on thin ice and the ice is melting fast.”
