Climate change is conquering the planet faster than previously thought

The latest IPCC climate report warns that increased greenhouse gas emissions could soon outpace many communities' adaptation ability.

According to a new news from the UN climate panel, the devastating effects of climate change are accelerating faster than scientists thought, more petite than a decade ago. 

He warned that the repercussions are inevitable and will hit the world's most vulnerable groups. However, collective action by governments to curb greenhouse gas emissions and prepare people to live with global warming could still be the worst preventative consequence.

"The scientific evidence gathered is unquestionable," said Maarten van Alst, a climatologist who heads the Red Cross and Red Crescent Climate Center in Enschede, Netherlands, and co-authored the report. "Any further delay in global adaptation and mitigation action will miss the fleeting and rapidly closing opportunity to ensure a livable also sustainable future for all."

The report, released on February 28, is the second part of the latest climate assessment by the UNIP on Climate Change (IPCC). The first section, published last August, focuses on current climate science, while the previous section discusses the impacts of climate change on THE humans and ecosystems.

In early April, a third section will assess human capacity to combat climate change, including ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is the IPCC's sixth assessment in just three decades, and the warning is getting worse. Nevertheless, proponents hope the latest review will eventually push the government to tackle the climate crisis with determination.

"I have seen many scientific reports in my time, but nothing like it," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said at the news conference that unveiled the report. This is a "damn accusation of failed climate leadership," he added.
