UN report: Climate change already so severe humans nearing adaptation limits
A comprehensive new United Nations-sponsored assessment of climate change finds that global warming is reshaping the world more rapidly and severely than was known several years ago.
Why it matters: The report finds that climate change is affecting every person’s physical and mental health, and classifies nearly half of the global population as being “highly vulnerable” to climate impacts.
Importantly, the report — part of the biggest update to climate science findings since 2014 — concludes it is no longer possible to fully adapt to some global warming impacts.
So, no more fossil fueled flights in private jets to vacation spots for climate meetings?
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres described the report in a statement as an “Atlas of human suffering.”
“Nearly half of humanity is living in the danger zone — now. Many ecosystems are at the point of no return — now,” he said.
Y’all need to stop eating burgers and replace your fossil fueled vehicle with a bicycle so that the Elites can cruise in their megayachts
Zoom in: The report notes that we are past the point where “minor, marginal, reactive or incremental changes” will adequately prepare society for the climate impacts that are in store. Instead, it calls for larger-scale shifts “in most aspects of society” to reduce climate risks and enhance resilience, among other goals.
See? This is totally about Science and not about politics at all!
Ukraine makes case for ending fossil fuels
You probably didn’t see it — not with the understandable 24/7 coverage of Russia’s barbaric assault on Ukraine — but there was some bombshell news Monday about the world’s slower-motion apocalypse: climate change.
The world’s top experts convened by the United Nations to study the effects of greenhouse-gas emissions by humans — the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC — said the dreaded effects, such as deadly droughts and floods and rapidly rising sea levels, are already here and likely to become worse than earlier predicted. The UN secretary general António Guterres put it bluntly when he said “people and the planet are getting clobbered by climate change.”
Blah blah blah. I’m wondering if Will Bunch and the Las Vegas Sun have given up their own use of fossil fuels? And, we can all figure out that Las Vegas collapses without fossil fuels.
