A Bleak Future :(

Climate scientists predict a bleak future with 2.5°C of warming
A new survey of IPCC scientists reveals widespread despair about the future of our planet. Nearly 80% expect global temperatures to rise at least 2.5°C this century, with devastating consequences like famines, mass migration, and extreme weather events.
Why the pessimism?
Lack of political will and vested interests are seen as major roadblocks. The world is already on track for 2.7°C, and few scientists believe we’ll take the drastic action needed to avoid it.
What can we do?
— Prepare for the worst: invest in climate adaptation and resilience.
— Keep fighting for climate action: every fraction of a degree avoided matters.
