The earth is warming faster than anticipated,
Here’s what you need to know:
Worsening food shortages. More wildfires. Flooded coastlines.
These are among the dire predictions for the next 25 years in a report by the U.N.’s scientific panel on climate change.
Australia’s many reefs are particularly at risk.
Avoiding the most serious damage would require transforming the world economy within just a few years, said the authors, who acknowledged the rescue was politically unlikely.
On the same day, the Nobel in economics went to to a pair of Americans for their work highlighting the importance of government policy in fostering sustainable economic growth.
One, William D. Nordhaus, was an early advocate for a carbon tax.
The other, Paul M. Romer, studies technological innovation.
