  24. IPCC: Climate efforts not sufficient, huge increase in green energy required to avert climate disaster

    The latest scientific report from IPCC concludes that current efforts to contain global warming are not sufficient to stop catastrophic climate change.

The study concludes that a global roll-out of clean energy is remarkably cheap – but only if we act now.
