Article Synopsis – The UN’s new IPCC report says Governments around the world must make “rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes” to keep global warming below the crucial threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, which could happen as early as 2030. “Global net emissions of carbon dioxide would need to fall by 45% from 2010 levels by 2030 and reach “net zero” around 2050 in order to keep the warming around 1.5 degrees C”. The consequences if we do not act now will be catastrophic and far reaching, with extreme drought, wildfires, floods, rising sea levels, and food shortages for hundreds of millions of people.
