From Larry Stoter, The Narth, Monmouthshire, UK
The majority of climatologists have, since at least the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, been well aware of climate change – that it is real, happening now and mainly a consequence of human activity. Nations, political leaders, businesses and many individuals have widely ignored the warnings. Why does anybody think this will change? It won’t, or at least not until devastating impacts hit large areas of the planet, which isn’t going to happen for some years yet. Realistically, 1.5°C of warming isn’t going to be averted – nor is 1.7°C, nor 2°C. We will be lucky to limit global warming to 2.5°C.
