New York (CNN Business)-The climate crisis is accelerating at unprecedented pace, according to a new United Nations state-of-the-science report. It is “a code red for humanity,” said UN Secretary-General António Guterres — and given that the report concludes the entirety of the warming is due to human greenhouse gas emissions, avoiding the worst of its consequences is up to us.
While the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report concludes that humans are “unequivocally” the cause of the crisis, climate experts say the onus of solving it should not rest on individuals’ shoulders.
