' #Climatechange includes both #global #warming driven by #human-induced #emissions of #greenhouse #gases and the resulting large-scale #shifts in #weather #patterns.'
According to the new #IntergovernmentalPanelOnClimateChange #IPCC #climatereport, the #carbon #budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current #emissions rate. The new report contains no real surprises. It confirms what we already know from thousands of previous studies and reports - that we are in an #emergency. It’s a solid (but cautious) #summary of the current best available science. It doesn't tell us what to do. It is up to us to be brave and take decisions based on the #scientific #evidence provided in these reports. We can still avoid the worst #consequences, but not if we continue like today, and not without treating the #crisis like a crisis.
