The 6th IPCC report on Climate Change is damning as it describes fossil fuel emissions increasing rapidly. It gives evidence of more global warming with future climate disasters like “heatwaves, heavy precipitation, droughts, and tropical cyclones.”
The 6th Assessment Report (AR6) punctuates a periodic cycle of climate science reviews by the IPCC, started in 1988 to give regular updates to guide the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) talks with all countries.
The report released today was delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic and marks the first full update since 2014, when the 5th Assessment Report (AR5) was published.
