The climate crisis worsens

Hindustan Times  

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ’s report, Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, released on Monday, is an unvarnished account of the expanding footprint of the climate crisis on the world. Mass mortality events on land and ocean; first climate-driven extinctions; loss of hundreds of local species; death and disease due to extreme heat are some of the possibly irreversible impacts of the climate crisis, the report said. To achieve this, many experts feel India needs a separate climate crisis ministry. For the West, the report is yet another stern reminder that it has failed to do its share to mitigate the crisis and meet the longstanding demands of developing countries to pay for loss and damage, increase funding for climate adaptation and the pace of green energy transition.
