Climate change: UN report to show true scale of impacts
This report from the IPCC is the second of three reviews from the world's foremost body of climate researchers.highlighted the scale of the effect that humans were having on the climate system.
The report shows that extreme weather events linked to climate change like floods and heatwaves are hitting humans and other species much harder than previous assessments indicated.While everyone is affected, some are being hit much harder. This outcome very much depends on where you live. Under all emissions scenarios, the IPCC expects a billion more people to be at risk from coastal specific climate hazards in the next few decades.
"The facts are undeniable. This abdication of leadership is criminal. The world's biggest polluters are guilty of arson of our only home."Diseases will likely spread more quickly in the coming decades, say the study's authors. While up to 14% of species assessed will likely face a very high risk of extinction if the world warms by 1.5C, this will rise to up to 29% of species at 3C of warming.
