Ch4 News - Some climate changes now irreversible, says stark UN report

The warnings could hardly be more stark. Changes to the world's climate are inevitable and irreversible, and without immediate, radical action to reduce greenhouse gases the future is catastrophic.

How to Understand the IPCC's Figure SPM.1

Image
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and potential future risks, and possible response options. The IPCC produces comprehensive Assessment Reports every six to seven years, as well as Special Reports on specific topics. The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) is the latest and most comprehensive assessment of the state of knowledge on climate change. The AR6 consists of three Working Group reports and a Synthesis Report (SYR), which integrates the findings of the Working Group reports and the Special Reports. The SYR is written in a non-technical style suitable for policymakers and addresses a broad range of policy-relevant but policy-neutral questions.

One of the most important figures in the SPM is Figure SPM.1, which shows how human activities have affected ...
