The climate crisis has reached a
“really bleak moment”, one of the world’s leading climate scientists has said,
after a slew of major reports laid bare how close the planet is to catastrophe.
Collective action is needed by the
world’s nations more now than at any point since the second world war to avoid
climate tipping points, Prof Johan Rockström said, but geopolitical tensions
are at a high.
He said the world was coming “very,
very close to irreversible changes … time is really running out very, very
fast”.
