Greta Thunberg: New IPCC Report Is a Wake-Up Call for All About the Escalating Climate Emergency

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg says the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change should serve as a “wake-up call” for governments to do more to lower emissions. In its first major report in nearly a decade, the IPCC says the Earth could face runaway global warming unless drastic efforts are made to eliminate greenhouse gases and that humans are “unequivocally to blame for the climate crisis,” which is already causing widespread and rapid changes. “The climate crisis is not going away,” Thunberg said. “It’s only escalating, and it’s only growing more intense by the hour.”

We've been saying this since the 1980s. Are we stupid? We havent even made it mandatory for producers to only use recyclable packaging materials. We could have done this 40 years ago.

Prepare and adapt. These coming events are inevitable.

Petrol dollar backed politicians will never do what's in humanity's best interest. Support candidates that are pro-Green from here on in.

Not gonna lie, i clicked on this video hoping to find a quick link to the full text of the IPPC Report

I do my best to help the planet. I implore everyone to do everything they can to help the planet.

How is it that a kid speaks like a responsible adult on this existential threat and our adult "leaders" sound like defiant and squirming kids as they do everything to avoid confronting the threat?

Human beings were blessed (maybe cursed) with an intricate neurological makeup. That we are still stuck on stupid, is mind-boggling.🤦🏻‍♀️

If you're looking for away to help the environment you can use ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees.

Respect to you Greta for your advocacy in bringing sense to the world. I recognize the high personal cost of doing so. Your cause will be joined as people see climate-driven wildfires consume their homes or climate-driven rains flood them out.

Corporations need to wake up.
Most people follow their lead anyway.

It's a "wake-up" call, but it's 10:30 already!

Love you Greta! Keep those of us who care on the right path.

Awareness knows that we are all in this together. The ego/person is driven to live as if he/she were in it alone.

Are you prepared to fight your local forest fire?

The longer nothing is done to stop / reverse what man is contributing to his adverse affects on climate, the sooner man must relearn survival skills to be able to survive in the upcoming catastrophes here on Earth.

Toxic human lifestyle overshoot of technical industrial civilization is the problem. The question is, does the dominant animal on planet earth have the capacity to undo the dysfunction it has created?

[danmarquez]

Greta is so right. People in power are doing ridiculously little. So here is what we must do. Einstein said this in 1954: "Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” Think about it. Plant agriculture reduces green house gases. Animal agriculture increases greenhouse gases... more than transportation.

Again, Greta is the most enlightened person and always, always speaks right on point. She is so beautiful and desperate, I am to but not for myself rather for all the good hearted people around the world who will suffer and die because of the greed and cowardice of a small minority of people, evil people..

Is it warming panic time again? Do we need warming lockdowns?

[earthman]

And someone somewhere wants a war! Madness.
