UN climate scientists issue stark warning

Reacting to today's landmark UN climate report, Connor Schwartz, climate lead at Friends of the Earth, said: 

“Every fraction of a degree now matters more than ever. Loud wake-up calls have been sounding for years but world leaders have chronically over-slept, and people are paying the price with their lives. 

“If we want a habitable planet, the window is just about still open, that’s today’s report in a nutshell. 

“If the government wants to show they respect the world’s leading scientists on climate chaos, they can start by cancelling the Cambo oil field, scrapping the coal mine in Cumbria, and ending UK funding for the mega-gas project in Mozambique: they can do that today.”
