Preventing an extra single degree of heat could make a life-or-death difference in the next few decades for multitudes of people and ecosystems on this fast-warming planet, an international panel of scientists reported Sunday. But they provide little hope the world will rise to the challenge.
The Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its gloomy report at a meeting in Incheon, South Korea.
In the 728-page document, the U.N. organization detailed how Earth's weather, health and ecosystems would be in better shape if the world's leaders could somehow limit future human-caused warming. Among other things:
— Half as many people would suffer from lack of water.
— There would be fewer deaths and illnesses from heat, smog and infectious diseases.
— Seas would rise nearly 4 inches (0.1 meters) less.
— Half as many animals with back bones and plants would lose the majority of their habitats.
— There would be substantially fewer heat waves, downpours and droughts.
— The West Antarctic ice sheet might not kick into irreversible melting.
— And it just may be enough to save most of the world's coral reefs from dying.
"For some people this is a life-or-death situation without a doubt," said Cornell University climate scientist Natalie Mahowald, a lead author on the report.

But a big fat check from Uncle Sugar would help cure the problem, right?
Climate nazi’s at it again.
Be careful what you say, you never know when they’ll show up outside your house with torches.
Seeking to derive power from fear, they use LIES.
No torches, cuz, uh,....global warming....
Yeah, but those torches raise the temperature and pollute the air.
To prevent Global Warming, we need to ban Climate Nazis.
How many lives would be saved if abortion were limited?
The UN screams and yells then runs in circles while Earth sits back a laughs
Right on time.
Here’s our daily minimum of at least one “we’re gonna die if we don’t change our lifestyles (except for the elite, of course) and give our money to the most corrupt and inept organization on earth.”
Pure bull Obama.
Waiting for the “Hurricane Michael” is proof of climate change story, coming in three, two, one......
That, and surrendering your liberty. That is a must.
Looking west we could see the escarpments of the Selkirk Mountains rising 2,500 feet above Lake Pend Oreille. The ice was almost TWO times higher than the top of those escarpments. The enormity of the great ice sheets is hard to fathom.
What's interesting is the great glacial ice dams would warm up, soften, and break, flooding the northwest. Then it cooled down again and the great ice dams reformed. This cycle repeated many times.
The people who write this stuff really need to visit the parts of North America and Europe that were buried under a mile of ice and ask why it melted.
From Wiki...
These types of articles just breeze over the fact that the ice sheets advanced and retreated, the ice dams formed, broke and reformed, the lakes filled, drained and refilled many times. How did this happen?The Missoula Floods (also known as the Spokane Floods or the Bretz Floods) refer to the cataclysmic floods that swept periodically across eastern Washington and down the Columbia River Gorge at the end of the last ice age. The glacial flood events have been researched since the 1920s. These glacial lake outburst floods were the result of periodic sudden ruptures of the ice dam on the Clark Fork River that created Glacial Lake Missoula. After each ice dam rupture, the waters of the lake would rush down the Clark Fork and the Columbia River, flooding much of eastern Washington and the Willamette Valley in western Oregon. After the rupture, the ice would reform, creating Glacial Lake Missoula again.
These people get apoplectic over a one or two degree potential rise as if it will end the earth. They are willfully ignorant of geological history.
From our drive yesterday, the Cabinet Mountains in Western Montana.
To unpack what they are saying, ‘life or death ‘ means of their $$$ gravy train.
What a beautiful picture!! Thanks
Well said. 10,000 years ago, the location I’m sitting right now was covered with 500 ft. of ice.
What’s the carbon footprint of that big UN Building In NYC? And same question for all the delegates when fly in and out of NYC? Do the drive a Prius and forgo air conditioning?
Back in 1942, MGM produced a TRAVELTALKS short on Glacier and Waterton National Parks. They mentioned the glaciers had been melting since the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago and “If there is NO CLIMATIC CHANGE they will be gone in a thousand years.
So, no matter what we do the earth will warm, the glaciers will continue to melt until we enter the 6th ice age.
Where I was living in the Rocky Mountains was supposed to be under a mile of ice by now due to the 1975 COMING ICE AGE!
Last visit, it is still ice free and owned by someone else, and I am stuck in the Tick and Chigger infested Ozarks, when I should be seeing my beautiful La Plata and San Juan Mountain range.
Yawn... the only ‘track record’ these people have is ‘being wrong a hundred percent of the time’.... the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change needs to step away from their crystal ball... and get real.
If they ever have ‘something’ that’s actually happened - we might be interested. But we’ve been told for decades that ‘the end is near’ and it NEVER IS... The New York Times and Al Gore - had most of the East coast under water by 2010 - eight years ago.
Global Warming is a money scam.
