”We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled. We are stepping into a critical and unpredictable new phase of the climate crisis. ” These are not my words. It is the opening statement in the 2024 state of the climate report: Perilous times on planet Earth, that was published in BioScience on October 8. The team of international scientists, including Johan Rockström, Michael E Mann and Naomi Oreskes, points out that despite the fact that global warming has been correctly predicted for half a century, we are still moving in the wrong direction. Fossil fuel emissions have increased to an all-time high. The three hottest days ever occurred in July of 2024, and current policies have us on track for approximately 2.7 degrees Celsius peak warming by 2100. ”Tragically, we are failing to avoid serious impacts, and we can now only hope to limit the extent of the damage. We are witnessing the grim reality of the forecasts as climate impacts escalate, bringing forth scenes of unprecedented disasters around the world and human and nonhuman suffering. We find ourselves amid an abrupt climate upheaval, a dire situation never before encountered in the annals of human existence. We have now brought the planet into climatic conditions never witnessed by us or our prehistoric relatives”, writes the scientists.

                  This is a great report. The urgency of addressing the climate crisis cannot be overstated. The impact of inaction is far-reaching and threatens the very existence of life on our planet. It is important that global leaders and individuals alike take immediate and decisive action to mitigate this looming disaster.
