IPCC scientists concluded that people and ecosystems least able to cope with the impacts of climate change are already being hardest hit. The report from the UN body for assessing climate science looked at impacts, adaptation and vulnerabilities when it comes to climate change This report sets out that even temporarily exceeding a 1.5 degree rise will lead to “additional severe impacts, some of which will be irreversible”.
“It shows that climate change is a grave and mounting threat to our wellbeing and a healthy planet. Our actions today will shape how people adapt and nature responds to increasing climate risks.” “Countries like Kenya urgently need support from the wealthiest nations most responsible for our warming world to scale up their ability to adapt and respond climate disasters,” she said.
Many species are reaching their adaptation limits – those that can’t adjust are at risk of becoming extinct. Changes in temperature, rainfall and extreme weather events have also increased the frequency and spread of diseases in wildlife, agriculture and humans. But it said that this and other trends can still be reversed by restoring, rebuilding and strengthening ecosystems and by managing them sustainably – which will also support people’s wellbeing and livelihoods.Not too late
Worst-case scenarios can also be avoided by better adaptation – such as protecting and conserving nature and by improving planning and management of cities. It said many initiatives prioritise immediate and near-term climate risk reduction which can reduce the opportunity for transformational adaptation.
there isnt enough shit happening in the world to satisfy the Journal. The people working there appear to be happier when they and others are miserable.
First the pandemic, now war with Russia. Will be a long time before climate change gets that type of focus! A long. long, long time...
