Global Apocalypse Looms — Again
Item: An “incredibly grim” prognosis on climate change also carries a “clarion call for global action,” blared the Los Angeles Times for October 8. According to the paper, a “major new report on global warming makes a chilling prediction: Without swift and sweeping worldwide intervention, some devastating effects of climate change will hit harder — and decades sooner — than previously expected.”
The L.A. Times went on: “Without dramatic steps to reduce use of fossil fuels and lessen the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air, global temperatures could reach a tipping point in only a dozen years, the 728-page report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned.”
The report, issued by “leading climate scientists from across the globe” for the United Nations body on climate change, warned that this “could mean that within less than a generation, the planet could see even more catastrophic wildfires, worsening food shortages and a mass die-off of coral reefs, among other effects.”
