Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says global greenhouse gas emissions must peak before 2025 — less than 32 months away — to avoid an ecological disaster. Carbon emissions then must also be slashed by at least 43 percent by 2030, while methane would also need to be reduced by about a third.

Emma: Concerning the IPCC report out of the united nations. Basically, unless we halve greenhouse gas emissions in three years we are going to set off and a chain reaction that is going to be very difficult if not impossible to reverse or increase you know hurricanes natural disasters in general. as well as certain ecosystems falling apart and our planet irrevocably changing. So I mean kind of serious. NatGeo here writes about the four urgent takeaways from this climate report. to limit warming to manageable levels the world has only a few years to stop using fossil fuels completely. unless global greenhouse gas emissions peak no later than three years from now and are cut nearly in half by 2030. okay so they can I misspoke a bit earlier they can peak no later than three years from now but they have to be cut in half by you know in less than a decade. The world will likely experience extreme climate impacts according to the latest report from the UN's intergovernmental panel on climate change, the IPCC. According to the report, if urgent action is not taken, humanity will fail to limit warming to 1.5 degrees celsius 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit. a threshold for a future of more fires, drought storms, and more. greenhouse gases and the earth's atmosphere are at their highest levels in human history. emissions of the gasses fell sharply in 2020 as a result of the pandemic lockdowns. but in 2021 they equaled or even surpassed the record in 2019 when they were about 12 higher when they were about 12 higher than in 2010. and 54 higher than in 1990. 54 higher in 1990 when the IPCC report was first published. This is like the one silver lining that is cited in this IPCC report: the rate of increase in green greenhouse gas emissions was slower between 2010 and 2019 than over the previous decade. and technologies and policies do now exist that would enable sharp reductions in the emissions if the political will exists to implement them.
