New IPCC Report Paints Dire Picture

The latest report by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body of leading climate scientists, predicts that Earth will surpass the 1.5 degree Celsius threshold in the next ten years, leading to extreme consequences for humanity. In response, U.N. Secretary General António Guterres has urged developed countries to target net-zero by 2040. Read about the report here.
