GENEVA - Global temperatures could rise sharply this century with “wide-ranging and destructive” consequences after greenhouse gas emissions hit record levels last year, international climate experts warned on Tuesday.
Greenhouse gas emissions surged to a record level last year, the United Nations said in its “Emissions Gap Report”, released ahead of U.N. climate talks in Madrid next week aimed at spurring world leaders to limit climate change. “Being a grandfather - we don’t want to leave that for our grandkids,” the report’s lead author John Christensen told a Geneva news conference.
“We are talking about transformational change now - incremental change simply will not make it. We simply need to transform societies in the next 10 years,” Christensen said.The report showed that emissions, including those from land-use change such as deforestation, had not yet peaked and rose to a record 55.3 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2018.
