Of the world's top scientists from 66 countries. the report warns that the global average temperature rise could reach or exceed 1.5 degrees celsius in the next 20 years — ten years sooner than expected. it said rising temperatures will cause more frequent, extreme weather events across the globe and warned that irreversible changes are already ongoing in melting ice sheets, rising sea levels and increasing acidification. but the report also stated that climate change could be slowed down, with rapid and sustained emission reductions. our science editor david shukman has this report. as the ...

That there is going to be some rise in sea level whatever we do, maybe half a metre by the end of the century if emissions are brought under control, or one metre if they are not and that would be really devastating for millions of people on coastlines around the world. but they can't rule out a far bigger rise approaching two metres if the polar ice sheets collapse. the great ice sheets are already adding to the level of the sea, but this process may suddenly accelerate. scientists aren't sure, but the implications would be disastrous. india is now in the grip of flooding. higher seas would m...

And 195 countries agree with him, as they have all signed off on the findings. in short, greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking the planet, and putting billions of people at immediate risk. the report warns that the global average temperature rise could reach or exceed 1.5 degrees celsius in the next 20 years — ten years sooner than expected. it said rising temperatures will cause more frequent, extreme weather events across the globe. and warned that irreversible changes are already ongoing in melting ice sheets, rising sea levels and increasing acid...
