Catastrophic floods, crop-wilting droughts, and record heatwaves this year have shown thatwarnings are increasingly becoming reality, and this is"just the beginning", experts say, as international efforts to cut planet-heating emissions founder.
Record heatwaves damaged crops from China to Europe, while drought has brought millions to the point of starvation in the Horn of Africa. When this phenomenon reverses, potentially within months, the world will likely climb to a"new level" in warming, said Vautard.Economy-battering climate extremes, which amplified the energy price surge for many countries as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, provided the backdrop to last month's high-stakes UN climate talks in Egypt.
