Dire Climate Thresholds ‘Closer Than Once Thought’, Leaked IPCC Report Warns – The Energy Mix: The IPCC warns that “current levels of adaptation will be inadequate
to respond to future climate risks,” the possibility of compound,
cascading climate impacts and tipping points is poorly understood, but
also concludes that “much can be done to avoid worst-case scenarios and
prepare for impacts that can no longer be averted,” the news agency
says.

But “species extinction, more widespread disease, unliveable heat,
ecosystem collapse, cities menaced by rising seas—these and other
devastating climate impacts are accelerating and bound to become
painfully obvious before a child born today turns 30,” the news story
states. And “the choices societies make now will determine whether our
species thrives or simply survives as the 21st century unfolds.”
