Strip out the politics, and the climate change story is very different to the one we've been told. In 2015, as part of the Paris Agreement, the world's governments agreed to pursue efforts to stop warming at 1.5C - a promise they have now all but failed to come good on.Īustralia is widely considered to be a laggard on efforts to stop climate change, and it was recently ranked last among 200 countries for its actions.

"I hope today's IPCC report will be a wake-up call for the world to take action now, before we meet in Glasgow in November for the critical COP26 summit," UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.

The UK government immediately called for the rest of the world to take urgent action. "The viability of our societies depends on leaders from government, business and civil society uniting behind policies, actions and investments that will limit temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius." "This report must sound a death knell for coal and fossil fuels, before they destroy our planet. "The alarm bells are deafening and the evidence is irrefutable: Greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk," he said. The new report was a "code red for humanity", United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres declared. Globally, warming has now reached about 1.1C since industrialisation (1850-1900), according to the hundreds of scientists and governments that make up the IPCC. That is one of the key conclusions of the most comprehensive climate report ever released - produced by the world's most authoritative body on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
