\u00a0CLIMATE: WHAT IS\u00a0THE\u00a0IPCC UP TO?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wednesday 16 April, 5.00 pm<\/h4>\n

The Council House, Derby
\nRoom G<\/h4>\n

Introduced by Chris Crean<\/h4>\n

Organiser for Friends of the Earth<\/h4>\n

The Intergovernmental Panel (IPCC) on Climate Change officially released the \u201cFifth Assessment Report\u201d from working group three on Sunday, 13\/4\/2014. [1]<\/a> The report is on mitigation; which is described as \u201chuman intervention to reduce the sources or enhance the sinks of greenhouse gases\u201d.[2]<\/a> The IPCC has told the world yet again that climate change is a huge risk we must tackle. What is new is the clarity and urgency of the message. This report warns that governments are set to crash through the global CO2 safety threshold by 2030. Humans have tripled CO2 emissions since 1970, it says – and emissions have been accelerating rather than slowing. The report finds \u201cwithout additional efforts to reduce GHG emissions\u2026 likely temperature increases from 3\u00b0C to more than 5\u00b0C\u201d are projected by the end of the 21st Century\u201d. It would also push us beyond \u2018tipping points\u2019[3]<\/a> which would mean run-away climate change, with drastic shifts in the Earth\u2019s natural systems including the melting of the Arctic and the Greenland ice-sheet leading to huge sea-level rise; and the dying-off of the Amazon jungle, triggering mass extinctions.<\/p>\n

We will be showing a five minute video from leading climate scientist Prof Kevin Anderson on the need for urgency and ambition. See\u00a0<\/i>http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P7pwpjthh6E<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

We suggest you share this on your social media platforms and tweet etc.<\/p>\n

This meeting, on Wednesday the 16th, will also discuss ongoing business. One of the items is\u00a0FRACKING<\/strong>. We will hear reports from what is happening and what can be done.<\/p>\n
