IPCC report; humans at the forefront of the climate reality
The climate crisis is eminently becoming and taking on suit as the most severe and pressing challenge facing the global systems. The work of climate researchers, governments, academia all over the the World have provided both qualitative and quantitative data and information regarding the appalling state of the climate emergency all merged into the IPCC report as at 19th August. These variable findings across the World inform the IPCC report basing on comparative analyses of over 14,000 sources and publications on climate variants and case scenarios.
The report highlights, qualifies and quantifies the threats posed by human activities onto the global climate and economic systems. The IPCC report exclusively highlights the fact that Global warming is happening, highly and majorly induced and accelerated by human greenhouse gas emissions, and the impacts are very bad and in some scenarios already catastrophic. The report also does illustrate that every fraction of a degree of warming we can prevent by curbing emissions is substantial enough to minimise the damage by a significant percentage. The message portrayed within the IPCC report presents no much variable difference since the release of the first IPCC report in 1990.
The report also looks back in time to compare the current rates of climate change to cases that happened in the past. The comparison clearly reveals human impacts on the climate system have been eminent. From the results, it is indicated that the last time global temperatures were comparable to today was about 125,000 years ago. The concentration of atmospheric carbon-dioxide and greenhouse gases is higher than any other time the last 2,000,000 years. Greenhouse gases are rising faster than anytime in the last 800,000 years.
The consequences of human action on the environment and global systems is fast reaching its impact and threshold. Further increase in atmospheric carbon and greenhouse gases would imply deterioration in the quality of life and the planet as a whole. Conclusively, the climate crisis is happening now and requires urgency and attention.
