"Urgent Action Needed: UN Report Warns Humanity on Thin Ice with Climate Change"

The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that the world is facing long-foreseen impacts of climate change with increasing severity, and that human suffering will increase rapidly, especially among the poor. While there is still an opportunity to avert the worst scenarios, the IPCC warns that scientists still don't have answers to many of the questions that will define how well the world copes with the worst of climate change. The report highlights that the world is flying blind into the storm in many critical areas, including the extent of extreme weather events, the identification of vulnerable populations, and the timing of tipping points.
