The recent October 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations organization, has been generally critized as been "too alarmistic"and dire, but in reality it is over-conservative and partly misleading.
We have attached an article with an intelligent analysis of the main assertions of the report.
In it you will find out that even though we are supposed to be at the edge of global catastrophe, the report proposes that humans have more years to pollute the atmosphere with more Greenhouse Gases (GHG). Their recommendations are: by 2030, global CO2 emissions will need to drop 45 percent below 2010 levels—equivalent to over 60 percent below 2015 levels—reaching net zero by 2050.
The assumption that humans can go on releasing GHG into the atmosphere comes mainly from ignoring the impact of Climate Change self-reinforcing amplifying feedbacks or slow feedbacks, such as ice sheet disintegration, greenhouse gases release from soils, permafrost, ocean sediments and the slowing down of the Gulf Stream.
These slow feedbacks have already been activated and are reaching tipping points beyond which they become unstoppable.
The generalized agreement among scientists, not heavily influenced by governments and corporations, is that there is already too much GHH in the atmosphere and that it is imperative to drawdown those existing GHG as fast as it is physically possible.
Climate Change State of Emergency Declarations from local, State, Federal and international governments are more needed than ever, to activate the maximum level of Climate Restoration and Climate Change Adaptation.
Climate Change Adaptation, such as the relocation of populations doomed by Climate Change and the re-engineering of territories to become less vulnerable to disasters to come, is now a priority, as big or bigger than Climate Restoration, for the most vulnerable locations on Earth such as Island Nations and Coastal Cities.
Please continue to spread the word about the need for governmental Climate Change State of Emergency Declarations (not just Resolutions) and keep on promoting this petition.
Thank you.
