UN climate report author: ambitious actions needed to slow global warming
Cornell Chronicle ^ | October 18, 2018 | by David Nutt

In March 2017, Natalie Mahowald, professor of earth and atmospheric sciences and the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future’s faculty director for the environment, was selected by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a lead author on the “Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius.”

The final report made international headlines when it was released Oct. 8. Among its key findings: scientific evidence is clear that human activities have caused 1 C of global warming since the late 1800s, and current trends suggest if the planet keeps warming at the same rate global warming will pass 1.5 C around 2040, with disastrous consequences for humans and ecosystems alike. (In Fahrenheit, a change of 1 C is 1.8 F and 1.5 C is 2.7 F.)

In this Q&A, Mahowald discusses her role in the report, its findings and proposed solutions, and the work everyone must do to limit global warming.

I didn’t read the entire article. Did the scientist provide a solution.

Best action would be all these hot air junkies close their mouths. They create more hot air than everyone else in the world.

No.

You’re an idiot masquerading as a scientist.

Any action to change the climate by any nation or NGO must be considered an ACT OF WAR. The climate modification attempts won’t do any good, but these nuts must be held to account.
