UN Global Warming Report

[Catseye3]

Excerpt: "Earth is getting so hot that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past a level of warming that world leaders have sought to prevent, according to a report released Monday that the United Nations called a “code red for humanity.”

"The authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which calls climate change clearly human-caused and “unequivocal,” makes more precise and warmer forecasts for the 21st century than it did last time it was issued in 2013.

"Under each scenario, the report said, the world will cross the 1.5-degree-Celsius warming mark in the 2030s, earlier than some past predictions. Warming has ramped up in recent years, data shows."

Sounds serious. Does the solution by any chance have to do with dismantling capitalism?

If we could rein in the US and China 40% of the problem would be solved.

I believe we can stop this if we give up all of our Constitutional rights and all of our money

It's complex problem. While I don't buy into the psuedo-religious aspect of it, it still behooves us to have as little emissions as possible. There is very little information on how much has been done already.
