The UN’s New Report on climate Change

Climate change articles are coming out every week, especially with Fire season in full swing around the world and Hurricane season in play as well. Many of you are aware that the United Nations just released its updated Climate Change report this week. You can download the full 1300+ page report or a 39 page policymakers’ high level summary here: https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/#SPM.

An alternative to that is to look for a trusted source to summarize it for you. Here are some options, but virtually every news source has an article covering this:

Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/un-sounds-clarion-call-over-irreversible-climate-impacts-by-humans-2021-08-09/

NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/09/climate/un-climate-report-takeaways.html

NPR: https://www.npr.org/2021/08/09/1025898341/major-report-warns-climate-change-is-accelerating-and-humans-must-cut-emissions-

I urge you to read about this report. It is too important to ignore or delay thinking about. One note: The report gives a very stark outlook on the future, but does not go into possible solutions or actions.
