Climate scientists from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are in utter despair over what they see as government inaction on climate change, at least according to a report from the U.K.'s The Guardian. Some are warning of "catastrophic" levels of global warming should the world not yield to their demand that the planet somehow get off of fossil fuels and stop releasing supposedly harmful emissions into the atmosphere.
The scientists tell dark tales of depression and lament that they're not able to get their point across to nations more interested in economic development than saving the planet. According to The Guardian, at least 77 percent of those surveyed think that global temperatures will reach at least 2.5ºC above pre-industrial levels, far above the 1.5ºC that the Paris agreement had hoped for. Forty-two percent believe that warming will ultimately be above 3ºC, and only six percent think it's still possible to hold global warming to 1.5ºC above pre-industrial levels.
“The goal of limiting global warming to 1.5C is hanging by a thread,” said a spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres. "The battle to keep 1.5C alive will be won or lost in the 2020s — under the watch of political and industry leaders today. They need to realize we are on the verge of the abyss. The science is clear and so are the world’s scientists: the stakes for all humanity could not be higher.”
