The UN's final IPCC report warns that drastic action must be taken immediately, but staving off disaster is within humanity's grasp.
The world needs immediate action now to defuse a"climate time bomb" that will unleash catastrophic environmental effects and climate breakdown, United Nation scientists have said in the last of its four major assessment reports to governments on Monday .
The synthesis report, which offers a close to panoptic view of the threats presented by climate change and what humanity can do to stop it, says that even if all the carbon-cutting policies previously promised by governments had been fully implemented by 2020, the world would still warm by a disastrous 5.8 F by 2100.
The document was initially scheduled for publication in October 2022, but was stalled by more than five months of delay following a strike by the scientists working on it, according to Politico .
