- The report, which is scheduled for official release next year, is the most comprehensive rundown to date of the impacts of climate change on our planet and our species.
- “The worst is yet to come, affecting our children’s and grandchildren’s lives much more than our own,” the report warns.
Millions of people worldwide are in for a disastrous future of hunger, drought and disease, according to a draft report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which was leaked to the media this week.
“Climate change will fundamentally reshape life on Earth in the coming decades, even if humans can tame planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions,” according to Agence France-Presse , which obtained the report draft.

Even our local TV station had a special report on climate change, which is out of character for our Republican area. So, it is on people’s minds even here, which would never expect. The word is getting around!

What will it take for the governing elite of this planet to recognize this situation demands a massive reorganization, refocusing of competition to cooperation, profit maximization to life maximization? Real world science says the world will continue to get hotter and the tipping point is long past. Windmills and Teslas are not going to slow the heating that has been years in the making and will take years to play out as the Earth rebalances. No one knows how long it will take for CO2 to decrease but guesses seem to range into hundreds of years. Then of course we have the kicker of methane that decreases much faster but is something like 30x’s more potent at trapping heat. Better book a flight with Space X if you have a few millions to spare, that is unless Elon invents a decarbonizer for the atmosphere, he seems handy at that sort of thing.
