That seems to confirm the report published on September 27 by the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change. The result of 6 years of work by a pool of 209 scientists and 1500 experts, the report stated that it is now basically impossible to avoid the negative consequences of global warmingon the Earth’s climate, despite the numerous (and mostly disregarded) international agreements.
This is all because of us, and we have the tools to limit the damage. Until the pre-industrial era, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was around 280 particles per million; less than two centuries later, there are over 400 particles per million with an average annual increase of 2 particles per million, and we run the actual risk of overcoming the critical threshold of 421 particles per million within 10 years.
The temperature increase of planet Earth is estimated between 1.7 ° and 4 °, the limit that should not be exceeded is 2 °: today, the pool of scientists working on these issues is no longer required to understand if that threshold will be passed, but when and but how to limit the consequences.
For our planet this would not be the first revolution, but this time there are billions of human beings involved. So what should we do? Drastically reduce the use of fossil fuels, stop deforestation, improve energy efficiency, maximize the use of renewable sources, and change our lifestyle by changing our consumption model. Not only can all of this be done -it must be done. Now.
