GLOBAL warming will enter a critical zone within 20 years, the world’s leading climate scientists have warned. Climate changes were clearly shown in the previous IPCC report in 2013 but it said human activity was “extremely likely” to be the main cause. Minister Ryan said the changes Ireland needs to make are possible, such as “using our own renewable power to stop using fossil fuels”. “The report today will be unequivocal that the science is clear; the cost of inaction will far outweigh any cost of action”. While most countries, including Ireland, have submitted plans committing to cut emissions to stabilise warming, few have put them into action yet.
