Climate change may amount to 'dire circumstances' but the human race can still 'do things about it' said Prof Jim Skea, the new IPCC chief. But he warned the later we leave it to make big changes, the harder it will be.
Climate change may amount to"dire circumstances" but the human race can still"do things about it" said Prof Jim Skea, the new IPCC chief. But he warned the later we leave it to make big changes, the harder it will be.Too much"apocalyptic language" on climate change risks undermining the fact humanity can still do plenty of things about it, according to the new British head of the UN's climate science body.
"We are in dire circumstances, there are threats to people in many parts of the world," said Prof Skea.'Our world is becoming unhinged' The role of a UN secretary general includes diplomacy and advocacy, especially for the poor and vulnerable. The IPCC, currently deciding where to focus its attention over its next five to seven-year cycle of work, is considering a report on the science of science communication, he said, acknowledging the IPCC itself"hasn't got it perfect yet".Sticking to IPCC policy not to comment on member states' policies, the chair could not be drawn on recent UK government decisions to delay some key climate targets or to champion new North Sea oil and gas developments.
