‘Delay means death’: New climate report issues stark warnings

Climate change is upon us and humanity is far from ready, the United Nations climate science panel warned in a major report on Monday.

Noting nearly half the world’s population was already vulnerable to increasingly dangerous climate impacts, the report called for drastic action on a huge scale.

...Mohamed Adow, from the climate think-tank Power Shift Africa, said: “This IPCC report is a fire alarm for the planet. As a species we are currently failing to adapt to this changing world. Or more accurately, the rich, polluting, global north has changed the planet through fossil fuel burning and is now refusing to help those suffering the effects.”
