Climate report makes the case for a radically changed world

Once again, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres didn’t mince his words: «It is a file of shame, cataloguing the empty pledges that put us firmly on track toward an unlivable world.» His speech on the latest IPCC report is worth watching in full (5 mins). Since this report is specifically about what we humans can do to mitigate climate change — if you read only one thing about the report, I recommend this one from Ireland. It’s plainspoken, forward-looking, with traces of optimism. The author describes the latest report as a classic Hollywood moment, where everything looks bleak, but the hero is like: «This is going to sound crazy, but hear me out because it might just work.»
