Pomembna sporočila znanstvenikov o spreminjanju podnebja zahtevajo nujno ukrepanje politikov

Pravkar predstavljeno četrto poročilo medvladnega panela za podnebje (IPCC) neizpodbitno ugotavlja, da se podnebni sistem segreva, kar bo vodilo k zelo resnim posledicam za človeštvo, kot so povečana pogostost uničujočih vremenskih dogodkov, taljenje ledu, dvig morske gladine ali spremenjeni vzorci padavin. Poročilo potrjuje, da je za segrevanje v zadnjih 50 letih najbolj odgovoren človek, ki je s svojim delovanjem – predvsem neodgovornim ravnanjem s fosilnimi viri energije – povzročil izpust prekomerne količine toplogrednih plinov.
