The report said that current levels of greenhouse gas emissions are likely to generate more than twice as much heat. This could lead to an increase of about 3.2 °C in the temperature by the year 2100. The report says that to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, almost every country will have to volunteer and sharply cut its emissions.
IPCC President Hosung Lee said that we are at a crossroads. The decisions we take now can secure a vibrant future. He said that we have the necessary tools and information to limit warming.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on IPCC Findings: If the countries of the world do not reconsider their energy policies, it will become uninhabited. He said that this is not a fantasy or an exaggeration. This is what science tells us. All this will be a result of our current energy policies. He said that we are on a path of global warming more than twice the limit of 1.5 degree Celsius.
Climate Change 2022: This report named Mitigation of Climate Change has been released a few days ago. It said that limiting global warming would require changes in the energy sector. For this the use of fossil fuels has to be reduced. Electrification will have to be accelerated and fuel alternatives like hydrogen will have to be used.
The report also talks about the good efforts made in the last few years. Annual greenhouse emissions between 2010-19 have been said to be the highest in history, but their growth has slowed. In addition, the cost of solar and wind power and batteries has come down by 85 percent compared to 2010. The report says that changes in our lifestyle and behavior and with the right policies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent by the year 2050.
