A stark new report from the global scientific authority on climate change calls on individuals, as well as governments, to take action to avoid disastrous levels of global warming.
The IPCC's models emphasize the need for people to change their lifestyle and consumption patterns to more sustainable alternatives, specifically in areas they can control, like modes of transportation, the buildings they inhabit and their dietary preferences.
Here's what consumers can do:
Transportation: In order to meet the 1.5C goal, the IPCC envisages a future where people travel less, and that generally consumer preferences shift to more sustainable choices like car sharing and hybrid and electric cars. The report also looks at using more efficient modes of travel, e.g. swapping cars, trucks and planes to buses and trains.
Buildings: While this section is less prescriptive, the IPCC suggests that people shift to more sustainable behavior when it comes to their homes, for example using smart thermostats or more efficient air conditioners.
Diets: Again, the models aren't comprehensive, but in general, the IPCC's narrative suggests that people consume about 30% less animal products. Eating less meat is one of a number of mitigation strategies suggested by the IPCC to overhaul agricultural and land-use practices, including the protection of forests. The livestock sector is estimated to account for 14.5% of greenhouse gas emissions globally, more than direct emissions from the transport sector.

Gee, “stark”? “New”? “global scientific authority” “disastrous levels” of “global” warming?
And just ONE MONTH PRIOR to MIDTERMS
Oh, the irony!!
“What the new report on climate change expects from you”
They can expect all they want but they aren’t getting Obama from me.
“A stark new report from the global scientific authority on climate change...”
No need to read further, is there?
Global scientific authority?
Yeah, riiiiiiiight.
Once again, another meaningless report by a meaningless agency with absolutely no solutions to solve a non-existent problem.
My copy of this report, printed on real vellum, will make a fine addition to my continuous tire fire in the back yard.
Lol. Lots of tax money.
For second I thought it’s sollozzo in godfather
Good man. Did you to fit it to roll coal?
I do my part by using black ink when I write, to increase entropy, and also buy lots of batteries and then recycle them to mess with the mining stock futures.
I need to figure out how to print it on TP.
I printed mine on baby seal and polar bear hides.
I will take this one. It is 12 years.

They should print the report on two-ply, soft, absorbent paper, so I can recycle it.
