The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report has just been published - and it's been described as "code red" for humanity. What does it say, what does it mean, how bad a mess are we in - and is there any hope?

Climate expert Ketan Joshi joins us to break it all down - and explain what comes next.

We are 8.4yrs away from 2030, economies and countries are built on growth, greed, and full throttle acceleration. Making drastic changes seems impossible to get through to the society’s.

*Why do they call it global warming?*
90% of people think it is important to protect the environment, only about 50% of people think global warming is real. Even if global warming is not real that does not mean people should throw the trash into the ocean.
It should be called "Protecting the Environment" Then people can stop arguing if global warming is real because it really does not matter. Protecting the Environment is what matters.

Sadly, we've already passed the point of no return a long time ago. Yes, if we adjust our pollution output, it will slow the rate of heat increase...but the system is already set on its course.

Our window of opportunity before climate change is irreversible is narrowing quickly. Given the sheer scale of change that is needed I'm not optimistic. What we are talking about here is essentially both a new economic model and way of thinking about and being in the world. A new philosophy of life if you will. There are too many powerful and vested interests working against the revolutionary change required. The cavalry hasn't even got its boots on let alone riding to the rescue.

Thanks so much for this. Great overview. Ketan didn't mention food supplies and mass migration as some of the consequences we can expect - but I really appreciate his positive, action-oriented approach.

Alas I think there’s an element of inevitability about the climate situation. I don’t think people are willing to sacrifice their luxuries, convenience and ease of life.

I live in the Netherlands & am involved in climate action.
The case mentioned against Shell involved 'Milieu Defensie' a Dutch equivalent of Friends of the Earth. Shell will appeal ( of course)
Two years back there was another ground breaking case.
'Urgenda' where the citizens have taken the government to court for insufficient action & missing agreed climate targets.

Only socialism can fix this problem caused by capitalism.

Really interesting, wish we had JC’s Green new Deal now ! Still it’s given me a bit more hope after listening to this. Be more involved.

Urgent policy changes are needed like ceasing new coal, oil and gas developments, ceasing new licences and funding, divesting all pensions from fossil fuels, a cap on flights and the number of fossil cars on the road, banning the sale of all new fossil cars immediatly and switching to manufacturing electric buses. We should also introduce a maximum wage and a high tax rate around 90% as we used to have.

Well, if the climate changes and it gets too hot, then we can create a nuclear winter that lasts for centuries until the next ice age takes over. So, there you go, we have the power in our technology.

There are a rising number of us who believe the IPCC report is far too conservative.
I urge people to investigate Post Doom. It's a movement dedicated to biodiversity survival, not necessarily human survival.

Our own fate is up to us. One way or another we will self actualize. Choose the brighter future!
