Final call to save the world from 'climate catastrophe'

[BeckyDem]

By Matt McGrath Environment correspondent, Incheon, South Korea

It's the final call, say scientists, the most extensive warning yet on the risks of rising global temperatures.

Their dramatic report on keeping that rise under 1.5 degrees C says the world is now completely off track, heading instead towards 3C.

Keeping to the preferred target of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels will mean "rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society".

It will be hugely expensive - but the window of opportunity remains open.

In developed countries that footprint is great no matter how much we try to conserve. So logically, is making more humans hunky-dory?

5. My husband and I agree it's a good time to be old. The GOP will stop the fix dead in its tracks.

Even if they are not in power, they will obstruct from the sidelines. Without the United States on board, the planet is doomed.
