The United Nations has released a report stating that urgent actions need to be taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 in order to prevent catastrophic effects of climate change.
The report by the intergovernmental panel on climate control emphasizes that the Earth’s surface temperature is rising and greenhouse gas emissions need to be cut in half to keep the temperature from rising beyond 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit from pre-industrial levels.
The effects of climate change are being felt globally, including rising sea levels, narrower beaches, and more frequent coastal road inundations.
In Texas, higher heat waves and longer droughts are affecting farming and other industries.
While the Texas Oil and Gas Association emphasizes the importance of their industry, groups like the Conrad bleacher Institute are using AI to predict and respond to climate change.
The report highlights the need for a group effort to combat climate change and the urgency to act now before it’s too late.
