Industries and individuals around the world burned record amounts of oil, gas and coal last year, releasing more greenhouse gases than ever before, a group of leading scientists said in a new report, warning that humanity is hurtling toward “climate chaos.”
“The planet’s vital signs are flashing red,” the scientists wrote in their annual report on the state of the climate. “The window to prevent the worst outcomes is rapidly closing.”
“The climate crisis has reached a really dangerous stage,” said William Ripple, the report’s co-lead author and a professor.
Other scientists who helped write the report said the Trump administration is turning a blind eye to threats including sea-level rise, worsening droughts and wildfires, and diminished agricultural output.
Solutions must involve not only phasing out fossil fuels, the scientists said, but also addressing the fact that people are using up resources faster than nature can replenish them. Researchers, they noted, have estimated that two-thirds of the warming since 1990 is attributable to the wealthiest 10% of the world’s people because of “high-consumption lifestyles, high per capita fossil fuel use, and investments.”
The scientists called for changes including “reducing overconsumption” among the wealthy, protecting and restoring ecosystems, and shifting away from meat-heavy diets to more plant-based foods.
“It's not just about cutting emissions. Dealing with climate change requires more,” Ripple said. “It calls for deep, systemic change in how societies value nature, design economies, consume resources and define progress.”

Haven’t they been warning about this for about 40 years?
““The window to prevent the worst outcomes is rapidly closing.””
How many windows does this scam have?
Uh oh, where do I send money?
These clowns make Chicken Little look respectable.
“Scientists”....they’re right up there these days with “Professors” and “Universities”....
Worthless, and useless as teats on wild feral boar hog......
I have a Newsweek article from 1975 warning us that we were heading into another ice age.
Geeez. This guy’s late to the game. Algore and Greta and bonnie Prince Charles have already informed humanity of this peril
Coming ice age, global warming, and climate change weren’t doing the trick. Now it’s CHAOS so every wrong forecast can be blamed away. What a bunch of petulant juveniles.
EC
I’m of the belief that the earth is self balancing...More co2 gives us more plant life to feed a greater population....and a few herds of angus.
What “scientists” - and what are their financial interests in achieving the changes they have proposed? Genuine journalists would ask these simple questions.
They need to catch up. Bill Gates says that narrative is done. Now we just await the new narrative. Meanwhile, vaccines are still on for Gates.
They are NOT happy about what Bill Gates said the other day.
Notice how the window is always imminently closing but never closed. Because if it was closed, these activists wouldn't be able to get government money and donations based on fearmongering.
