The forecast is (once again) bleak
One scientist suggests we call the latest IPCC report the “Your House Is on Fire” report. Photo: David McNew/Getty Images Some six months after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its “code red” climate report comes a new and damning follow-up assessment of the impact global warming will have on daily life.
Already, wildfire seasons on North America’s West Coast seem to worsen every season, taking lives, destroying homes, incinerating farmland, and sometimes triggering separate weather catastrophes. According to the report, storms, floods, and other environmental emergencies drove 13 million people from their homes in Asia and Africa in 2019. Escalating droughts and rising temperatures threaten to worsen existing food shortages.
That prognosis should not be surprising: The global North has produced the overwhelming majority of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions with G20 nations responsible for 80 percent of that total. If this is an “unequivocally” manmade disaster, as August’s report made clear, then it is also a crisis of entrenched inequality.
