Kerry on Climate Crisis: ‘We Are Absolutely, Clearly, Without Question Now Inside the Decisive Decade’

‘If we don’t reduce it, then, we simply have not any longer got the possibility of holding the temperature at 1.5 degrees’

EXCERPT:

KERRY: “Three years ago scientists warn that if we want to prevent the worst consequences of the climate crisis, we have to limit the planet’s warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, that’s the magic number by consensus among most scientists. The same group of scientists told us that we had, three years ago, about twelve years, so now, three years later, three years wasted, sadly largely because of our president, the United States around 2030 is the date at which we have to get the world now on the right path in order to cap the warming at that level of 1.5. So we are absolutely clearly without question now inside the decisive decade.”
