The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s latest and final climate report warns that time is running out to be able to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of a rapidly overheating planet.
Authors of the report, released March 20, contend that
governments around the world have about a decade to stop the rise of
global temperatures and the extreme weather events that accompany them. They also lay out a clear path to prevent global temperatures from rising above 1.5°C.
