Experts warn of a climate emergency. Global warming is an issue that the world has grappled with for many years. Now experts warn of a possible ‘climate endgame’. If the rise in temperature increases in a way never seen before, it could mean a catastrophic end for humanity.

According to Forbes, an international team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge has proposed an agenda to face the worst scenarios. These include outcomes ranging from the loss of 10% of the world’s population to eventual human extinction.

An article published by the journal PNAS, calls on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to dedicate a future report to catastrophic climate change to boost research and inform the public.

The article written by the lead author Luke Kemp, says the following. “Climate change has played a role in every mass extinction event. It has helped fell empires and shaped history. Even the modern world seems adapted to a particular climate niche,” he stated. Filed Under: Experts warn climate emergency

Kemp stated that the effects of rising temperatures could lead to a financial crisis, disease outbreaks and more catastrophes that could occur possibly in the near future.

«Paths to disaster are not limited to the direct impacts of high temperatures, such as extreme weather events. Knock-on effects such as financial crises, conflict, and new disease outbreaks could trigger other calamities, and impede recovery from potential disasters such as nuclear war.” Filed Under: Experts warn climate emergency

The paper also spoke of rising temperatures. The modeling carried out by the team shows the areas of extreme heat, which are high temperatures of more than 29 degrees Celsius.» Annual average temperatures of 29 degrees currently affect about 30 million people in the Sahara and the Gulf Coast,» explains co-author Chi Xu, from Nanjing University.

He adds, “By 2070, these temperatures and the social and political consequences will directly affect two nuclear powers, and seven maximum containment laboratories housing the most dangerous pathogens. There is serious potential for disastrous knock-on effects.» Filed Under: Experts warn climate emergency

The UN warned yesterday that there is no way to resolve the most pressing problems in the world without effective dialogue and cooperation between the US and China. This was stated by Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, when questioned about Beijing’s decision to end cooperation with Washington on several key issues, including climate change and defense, in protest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan this week.

«For the secretary general, there is no way to solve the most pressing problems around the world without effective dialogue and cooperation between the two countries,» the spokesman said. Fighting climate change has been a key area of ​​cooperation between the two superpowers, and the freeze in talks comes as US and Chinese officials stepped up their engagement ahead of the upcoming COP27 climate summit in Egypt in November. China and the US are the two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases and their previous bilateral commitment on climate change helped pave the way for the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015. John Kerry, US Special Envoy for Climate, called the suspension of the talks «both disappointing and misguided,» according to reports from Agencia Reforma.
