Scientists respond to the latest UN Climate Report

Following the release of the United Nations’ latest climate report, scientists fear their warnings are falling on deaf ears as the war in Ukraine continues.

Putin’s invasion has led to international turmoil and soaring energy prices, as governments work to alleviate pressure on the everyday consumer in any way they can.

Now when it comes to the climate crisis there is hope. The world’s top climate scientists believe we can prevent the worst impacts of global warming if we act now. But the clock is ticking.

So what needs to change?

There needs to be “rapid, deep and immediate” cuts in carbon dioxide emissions, with global emissions peaking within three years before quickly declining.

In addition to this, the report says we will need to rely on carbon capture technology to suck excess CO2 from the skies.

The next few years are particularly critical, and if we don’t do enough by 2030, it will make it almost impossible to limit warming to under 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Renewables will also be crucial in this battle, but luckily solar panels and wind turbines have never been cheaper, falling in cost by around 85% over the past decade.

Established brands like Peugeot and Nissan are slashing prices by significant margins to compete with emerging Chinese EV competitors.

Facing a dual challenge of a decelerating growth in EV adoption and a surge in competitively priced alternatives from Chinese manufacturers like BYD and MG, traditional automakers are forced to enact substantial price cuts to clear inventory.

This trend reflects the fast pace within the market and signals the formidable struggle for dominance in the EV space. #featured #trending

Does this mark a shift in Washington’s public approach to the war?

The comments came after the Biden administration halted a recent shipment of bombs amid concerns over Israel’s plans to launch a full-scale assault on Rafah even as cease-fire talks continue with Hamas.
