This is why we talk of extinction - a slideshow precis/analysis for-the-busy of the latest UN IPCC scientists report on the climate crisis from Jeremy Leggett

print or digital copy


UN scientists this week reviewed the impacts of observed and predicted global heating on land, plus adaptation and mitigation response options.
This is a vital report, with many life-or-death messages for governments at the climate negotiations, and indeed everyone who worries about the existential threat global heating and climate chaos pose for civilisation and the natural world.
I have prepared a slideshow precis / analysis of the the first part of the report, on impacts.
In it, I try to make the urgent messages clear, but also the pulled punches that are inevitable in a report written by a huge committee, and subject to bad-actor lobbying.
