Humanity still has a chance, close to the last one, to prevent the worst of climate change's future harms, a top United Nations panel of scientists says. 9News
"The window is closing if emissions are not reduced as quickly as possible," Johnson said in an interview."1.5 is a critical critical limit, particularly for small islands and mountain which depend on glaciers," said Mukherji, who's also the climate change impact platform director at the research institute CGIAR.
Guterres insisted "the 1.5-degree limit is achievable". Science panel chief Hoesung Lee said so far the world is far off course. "It is certainly prudent to be planning for a future that's warmer than 1.5 degrees," said IPCC report review editor Steven Rose, an economist at the Electric Power Research Institute in the United States.
The report comes a week after the Biden Administration in the United States approved the huge Willow oil-drilling project in Alaska, which could produce up to 180,000 barrels of oil a day. If rich countries don't cut emissions quicker and better help victim nations adapt to future harms, "the world is relegating the least developed countries to poverty", said Madeline Diouf Sarr, chair of a coalition of the poorest nations.
