Hello Friend,
Tell Congress to pass the Safe Climate Act!
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released its newest assessment of the coming impacts of global warming. The news is serious.
Here are some key findings of the report:
It is likely that climate change will induce mass extinction of species within 60-70 years.
Over the next decades the number of people at risk of water scarcity is likely to rise from tens of millions to billions.
Reductions in food production capacity are projected, bringing even more hunger and misery to the poorest parts of the world.
"This is a glimpse into an apocalyptic future. The earth will be transformed by human induced climate change, unless action is taken soon and fast," said Stephanie Tunmore, Greenpeace International Climate and Energy Campaigner. "What this report shows is that we are simply running out of time."
But we can make a difference: "There is still time for an energy revolution that will dramatically transform our energy system and create a carbon free economy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions to a level that keeps the global average temperature increase well below 2 degrees C, avoiding the most catastrophic impacts," says Tunmore.
"The one option that is clearly no longer open to us after this report is to continue to sit on our hands and do nothing."
Take Action! Tell Congress to pass the Safe Climate Act!
Peace,
ERIK
