This has to be a wake up call, not only for society and politicians, but also particularly for the scientific community and university governing bodies, to step out of complacency and vehemently demand the immediate transitions that are necessary to avoid such catastrophic outcomes.

Extreme flooding, droughts, fires could cause massive crop failures in several parts of the world simultaneously. Such conditions could lead to massive upheaval, migrations, wars, societal and economic collapse in large parts of the world.

At 3 degrees of heating, extreme heatwaves and lethal wet-bulb events, where heat combined with humidity cannot be compensated for by the human body’s cooling mechanism, would become increasingly common, making large areas uninhabitable, including densely populated areas of north India.

🚨🔥 Dire warning by the German Physical Society (DPG) and German Meteorological Society (DMG): Observations show a significantly accelerated heating of the climate. A catastrophic heating of 3 degrees already by 2050 cannot be ruled out.

Klimaforschende wenden sich an die deutsche Politik: Drei-Grad-Grenze könnte schon um 2050 erreicht werden; Klimaanpassung beschleunigen.

Klimaforschende sehen für Deutschland eine Zunahme des Risikos extremer Wetterereignisse und die Notwendigkeit, Maßnahmen in der Klimaanpassung schnell zu verstärken.

Vebjørn fastet seit 40 Tagen für den Ausstieg aus Öl & Gas und protestiert damit gegen die Politik der norwegischen Regierung.
