Paris (AFP) – Nearly 200 nations kick off a virtual meeting Monday to finalise what promises to be a harrowing scientific overview of accelerating climate impacts that will highlight the urgent need to cut emissions -- and prepare for the challenges ahead.
The upcoming update from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is set to outline in stark detail what the best available science tells us are the impacts of the changing climate -- past, present and future.
During a two-week gathering, diplomats and scientists will vet, line-by-line, an all-important Summary for Policymakers, boiling down an underlying report thousands of pages long.
Species extinction, ecosystem collapse, crippling health impacts from disease and heat, water shortages -- all will accelerate in the coming decades even if the carbon emissions that drive global warming are drawn down, the report is likely to find.
"This is a real moment of reckoning," said Rachel Cleetus, Climate and energy policy director at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
"This not just more scientific projections about the future," she told AFP. "This is about extreme events and slow-onset disasters that people are experience right now."

In the USA are carbon emissions have fallen by over 20%. A lot of this is due to the use of Natural Gas.
As the first Robin in Spring is sign that Winter has ended, this “alarm: is a sign that the Shamdemic has ended.
Covid fear must be waning.
All BS- China and India will not sign on. I don’t believe in unilateral self-flagellation. Screw ‘em.
This time they mean it for sure.
This is a laughable “climate” cult—total word salad.
Been there, done that:

The “experts” only get to lie to me once.
After that they are on permanent “ignore”.
The only solution is kill all the white people.
:-(
Sorry, but UN and science are two words that do not go together.
And it always amazes me how the political cultists who worry all the time about "species extinction" tend to also be the ones who think human beings came to existence through species very casually spawning off new species with awesome hearty resilience while other species die off through failure to adapt (natural selection).
It's some of the most repeated leftist doublethink of my lifetime.
Hot off of the success of convincing the world to get an experimental vaxxine for a disease with a 99.? survival rate, NOW is the time to go ALL OUT for draconian climate measures.
They can’t tell you what the weather is going to be like in 24 hours but they insist they know what it will be like decades from now.
They should get their global climate predictions from Punxsutawney Phil. He is far more accurate.
CO2 is not a dangerous pollutant.
It is essential for life on earth.
Everyone agree’s on the reality of an Ice Age right existing 10K years or so ago right? Gotta wonder about all the man made CO2 in the atmosphere then that caused it huh? Must have been hue and series!
feh...
Of course they did. Defund them.
There is “0” evidence that reducing the co2 will alter the climate...even a tad...
