Major Climate Report Describes a Strong Risk of Crisis as Early as 2040

New York Times, Oct 2018, Posted by Wayne Morgenthaler

This article, on the release of the IPCC report is basically bad beltway journalism full policy insider quotes, misinformation and dangerous framing. It even contains quotes from coal executives.

The report “is quite a shock, and quite concerning,” said Bill Hare, an author of previous I.P.C.C. reports and a physicist with Climate Analytics, a nonprofit organization. “We were not aware of this just a few years ago.”

Mr. Hare must have had his eye closed as we have known were this goes for 30 years and we did not just find out. Even the Time has shown this in Losing Earth.

The UN's Devastating Climate Change Report Was Too Optimistic

Here is again the article "The UN's devastating Climate Change report was too optimistic" that discusses how and why the IPCC Report underestimated the state of Climate Change and proposed changes that, even if implemented, will guarantee an unstoppable Climate Change. Even though it recognizes that the Earth and humanity are in deep trouble regarding Climate Change, it still proposes that there is still more time to pump GHG into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, most governments and non-profits (including the Center For Climate Protection) take the IPPC Report as the ultimate word on the state of Climate Change and solutions. That is why we have seen that almost everybody in Climate Change Action is talking about "making major reductions in GHG emissions within 12 years and stopping all emissions by 2050.
