An international coalition of climate scientists says that the Earth's vital signs have worsened beyond anything humans have yet seen, to the point that life on the planet is imperiled.
An international coalition of climate scientists says in a paper published today that the Earth's vital signs have worsened beyond anything humans have yet seen, to the point that life on the planet is imperiled.
Published in BioScience,"The 2023 State of the climate report: Entering uncharted territory" notes that 20 of 35 planetary vital signs the authors use to track climate change are at record extremes. "Life on our planet is clearly under siege," Ripple said."The statistical trends show deeply alarming patterns of climate-related variables and disasters. We also found little progress to report as far as humanity combating climate change.
The highest average Earth surface temperature ever recorded came this past July, and there's reason to believe it was the highest surface temperature the planet has seen in the last 100,000 years."As scientists, we are hugely troubled by the sudden increases in the frequency and severity of climate-related disasters," said Wolf, now a scientist with Corvallis-based Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Associates.
The authors urge transitioning to a global economy that prioritizes human well-being and curtails overconsumption and excessive emissions by the rich. Specific recommendations include phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, transitioning toward plant-based diets, scaling up forest protection efforts and adopting international coal elimination and fossil fuel non-proliferation treaties.
