Stop burning fossil fuels
Stop deforestation
Off-the-charts records: humans have broken the climate
"Climate science’s projections are pretty robust over the last decades. Unfortunately, humanity’s stubbornness to spew out ever higher amounts of greenhouse gases has also been pretty robust."
Prof Malte Meinshausen, University of Melbourne, Australia.
“What we are seeing this year is just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, of what we expect to happen...If we do not halt global warming soon, then the extreme events we see this year will pale against the ones that are to come.”
Prof Natalie Mahowald, of Cornell University
"The impacts are frighteningly more impactful than I - and many climate scientists I know - expected."
Prof Krishna AchutaRao, Indian Institute of Technology.
A" “tiny window” of opportunity remained open to tackle the climate crisis,..with humanity having all the tools needed. The researchers overwhelmingly pointed to one action as critical: slashing the burning of fossil fuels down to zero."
We need, above all, a just and equitable transition. A very small percentage of the human population is responsible for most greenhouse gas emissions.
Prof Paola Arias, University of Antioquia, Colombia.
