The findings, by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change , serve as a stern wake-up call for politicians, business leaders and policy makers, who in just 12 weeks will meet for the COP26 climate talks in Glasgow to address the biggest existential challenge in human history.
Amid the growing pressure, climate-minded policymakers are likely to face hurdles in making a success of November's COP26 conference, which is often measured by how far the most conservative leaders are willing to go. Recent multilateral meetings on climate between far fewer nations have ended with disappointing results, sometimes even in division.Keeping 1.5 alive
At a press conference on Monday, Mr Sharma denied that the 1.5-degree threshold was still divisive, and pointed to the communiqué G20 ministers ultimately agreed to, in which counties said they would "continue efforts" to limit it to 1.5 above pre-industrial levels. He added, "We have to understand the different situations in different countries, and strive to reach a consensus."
Another sticking point for developing nations is that they haven't received the money they were promised to adapt to climate change. That threshold will likely be crossed in the mid-2030s, even if greenhouse gas is reduced sharply starting today.
Awwww… look at them all. Good mates.
This is the exact same report they've tabled for 30+ years... You cry wolf enough times... SCAMDEMIC2021 is another prime example.
