After a contentious approval session where scientists and government officials went through the report line by line, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has now published its guidance on what the world can do to avoid an extremely dangerous future.
To avoid that fate, the world must keep the rise in temperatures at or under 1.5C this century, say researchers. To stay under 1.5C according to the IPCC means that carbon emissions from everything that we do, buy, use or eat must peak by 2025, and tumble rapidly after that, reaching net-zero by the middle of this century.
Speaking to BBC News she said: "We have to peak our greenhouse gas emissions before 2025 and after that, reduce them very rapidly. And we will have to do negative emissions or carbon dioxide removal in the second half of the century, shortly after 2050 in order to limit warming to 1.5C."Governments will need to look at the provision of low carbon transport
"It's game over for the fossil fuels that are fuelling both wars and climate chaos," said Kaisa Kosonen from Greenpeace, who was an observer at the IPCC approval session.

Yes, climate change is inevitable. At the beginning of the change in the natural balance on the planet, we must adapt and coexist with building amphibious cities, using stronger materials, lighter weight, such as reinforced plastic Yes, climate change is inevitable.
Don't misunderstand me. We need to continue development of solar, wind and hydro EG and most of all EV's. When all carbon emissions from fossil fuels are eliminated the amount of CO2 will still increase due to increases in populations of humans and animals, the real source.
Since Rio/ECO 92 kkkkkkkkkkkk You are fake news
Instead of wasting the money fighting a carbon emissions ghost we should be looking at ways to remove CO2 from the air. A sure way is to irrigate the deserts and do it naturally via vegetation. Never happen without overhaul of EPA and ESA protecting the habitats of rats and bats.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution Earth's population has increased from 1 billion to 8 billion. Every person exhales 2.5 pounds of CO2 daily accounting for all the increase. Add increases in dogs, cats and food animals, we're fighting a carbon emissions ghost.
NEVER.
I’m for now instead of never :-)
