Climate change: IPCC scientists report five ways to save the planet
Yesterday, UN scientists laid out a plan that they believe could help people avoid the worst impacts of rising temperatures. The report, by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), essentially calls for a revolution in how we produce energy and power our world. To avoid very dangerous warming, carbon emissions need to peak within three years, and fall rapidly after that. Even then, technology to pull CO2 from the air will still be needed to keep temperatures down.
The world needs to move away from coal, technology must be developed to pull co2 from the air, strategies to reduce peoples’ demand for energy must be found and implemented, money must be taken away from fossil fuel energy and directed to clean energy solutions and the rich should become models for low carbon lifestyles.
The researchers say these five key concepts are critical to keeping the world safe.
