Still, there’s hope.
The technology needed to adapt to climate change and keep harmful emissions at bay is available, the report says, arguing that a clear path exists to a more sustainable world and a stable climate.
“Mainstreaming effective and equitable climate action will not only reduce losses and damages for nature and people, it will also provide wider benefits,” IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee said in a statement. The report “shows that, if we act now, we can still secure a liveable sustainable future for all.”
The panel also found that a key aim of the landmark Paris climate agreement — to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius — may be out of reach.

NETZERO as currently envisioned will force 2 Billion more people into STARVATION.
Are we on the 2nd or 3rd “ONLY 12 years left” warning?
Hahaha
Time has been quickly running out for years now....
Whatever the IPCC budget is, we’re paying a significant portion of it. So what does the United Nations actually do?
Still trying to sell utopia without God.
A big report must be accurate….
