Don't overstate 1.5 degrees C threat, new IPCC head says – DW – 07/30/2023

Jim Skea, the new head of the UN's IPCC climate panel, said it was not helpful to imply that temperature increases of 1.5 degrees Celsius posed an existential threat to humanity.

In short, we aren’t on track to an apocalyptic extinction, and the new head is concerned that rhetoric that we are is making people apathetic and paralyzes them from making beneficial actions.

He makes it clear too that this doesn’t mean things are perfectly fine. The world is becoming and will be more dangerous with respect to climate. We’re going to still have serious problems to deal with. The problems just aren’t insurmountable and extinction level.

    Add a few wildflowers to your grass, it’s better for insects (and should not be that expensive).

      That’s a good idea but how to I mow it with flowers in it?
