Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states every corner of the planet is already being affected and it could get far worse
- IPCC report’s verdict on climate crimes of humanity: guilty as hell
- Humans have caused ‘unprecedented’ and ‘irreversible’ change to climate, scientists warn
“It is unequivocal.” Those stark three words are the first in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s new report. The climate crisis is unequivocally caused by human activities and is unequivocally affecting every corner of the planet’s land, air and sea already.
The report, produced by hundreds of the world’s top scientists and signed off by all the world’s governments, concludes that it could get far worse if the slim chance remaining to avert heating above 1.5C is not immediately grasped.
