Fortunately, there have been tens of thousands of people thinking and resesarching about this problem since it reached international attention in the early 90s. This broad scientific consensus is best embodied in the reports produced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): we need to radically change how our economies work, which may mean we have to radically transform society to stop using fossil fuels.</p> <blockquote> <p><em>The<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergovernmental_Panel_on_Climate_Change" target="[object Object]"> IPCC</a> is a scholarly organization that summarizes the known science about climate change hosted by the UN. Generally speaking, the IPCC is designed to support the international negotiations for climate action, and thus is designed to be a bit conservative: often the science will communicate a middle ground between radical environmental positions and entrenched powers in the global economy and powerful countries. Frequently, the most recent science of climate change has identified more extreme outcomes than is published by the IPCC. The IPCC only publishes analysis of the the most established, consensus science. The last report, published in 2021-22, was nearly 4000 pages long, and called the "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPCC_Sixth_Assessment_Report" target="[object Object]">Sixth Assessment Report</a>". The report summarized 14,000 scientific papers, and is most consumed as it's Technical Summary.</em></p> <p></p> </blockquote> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/574811872?h=3dc637de74" width="100%" height="640" frameborder="0" allow="fullscreen; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://vimeo.com/574811872">The Sixth Assessment Report - The numbers behind the science</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/ipcc">IPCC</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p></p>" |
