Earth's Existential Threat: Climate Scientists Warn of Dangerous Instability

A new study published in the journal Bioscience warns that Earth's systems are heading towards dangerous instability due to anthropogenic global heating. The report highlights specific climate events in 2023, including heatwaves, warm ocean temperatures, and low levels of sea ice. The study indicates that global average temperatures have exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for 38 days so far this year. The research team emphasizes the minimal progress made in addressing the root problem of human consumption and calls for urgent action to eliminate emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change while increasing carbon sequestration with nature-based climate solutions.
