New York-Sana
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has warned that the world is approaching "uncontrolled and dangerous" warming, the responsibility of which falls entirely on humans.
In a report by the agency, Reuters published extracts from it, scientists warned that levels of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere are already high enough to guarantee climate disruption for decades, if not centuries. This is in addition to deadly heat waves, severe hurricanes and other dangerous weather fluctuations. that are occurring now and are likely to increase in severity.
The report pointed out that the emissions resulting without any doubt from human activities pushed the average world temperature 1.1 degrees Celsius higher than before the industrial revolution, and it could have raised it by another half a degree, had it not been for the moderating effect of pollution in the atmosphere.. This means that as societies move away from fossil fuels, they will disappear. Lots of atmospheric dust and temperatures may rise.
Scientists have warned that an increase in average temperatures of more than 1.5 degrees than before the industrial revolution may lead to a wild climate change with its catastrophic effects such as high temperatures that destroy crops or lead to death, and they said, "Time is running out for the world just to slow down climate change."
The report predicted the recurrence of intense heat waves every ten years, after they occurred once every 50 years, and the heavy rains that used to occur once every ten years are now more frequent and intense compared to what they were during the fifty years prior to 1900 when the planet began to heat up due to activity Drought waves may also recur every five or six years, after they used to occur once every ten years.
Describing the report as a warning to humanity, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged an "immediate end to electricity generation from coal and other polluting fossil fuels before they destroy our planet".
The panel's report comes three months before a major UN climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, where countries will come under pressure to pledge ambitious measures and significant funding to combat climate change.
