Eleven scientists have come together to outline the steps we need to take to save our civilization and create a livable future for humanity. In their statement, they summarized the most important measures presented a few days ago in ten points.
10 messages from climate science for a livable future The goal of the ad's authors was for the public to receive direct and clear messages from representatives of science regarding environmental problems and possible solutions. Diana Orji VorsatzThis is absolutely necessary because even experts have different opinions on certain issues, which is why people are often confused by different messages, says the Vice-Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). However, scholars agree on the points just made. These are:
- You have to face problems!
- The negative impacts of climate change are already being felt and will worsen.
- Instead of adapting or reducing emissions, adapt and reduce emissions now!
- More can do more than others.
- Different actions should reinforce each other!
- Without natural stability, we have no future.
- We value our environmental resources!
- Prosperity instead of prosperity!
- Reducing emissions is impossible without solidarity.
- Joint action can turn climate concern into a driving force.
At the press conference on September 27, they also talked about what awaits the world if we do not start taking action immediately.
A devastating hurricane could hit our country at any time
Description of points Andras Gelencer It was started by a chemical engineer who believed it was fine for scientists to argue with each other, but the general public needed clear messages so they could even get through to policy and make it move. The first step towards this is to face reality and realize that climate change is real and that it is humanity's responsibility.
It's a big problem, the Earth has a fever. This is not the future anymore, (…) the problems related to this are already with us
He said. According to Gelenser, the problem is that suspicion is still high in societies. It's not necessarily about the existence of climate change, but rather about its causes. We wallow in denial and illusions so that we do not have to face reality and its difficulties, even though without that there will be no change.
after that Judith Bartholy This summer's heatwaves and floods have proven that we are already feeling climate change on our skin, and that its consequences will only become more severe, a meteorologist has spoken out. He pointed out that the frequency of heat waves may increase tenfold, which may seem unreasonable, although if we compare data from 2005 and 2024, we can see that we are almost here in the Carpathian Basin.
Due to climate change, drought periods are increasing in Hungary, which has a very bad effect on agriculture and also promotes the spread of many harmful insects. As a result, some plants will grow less and less on local land:
This is the end of corn and the end of potatoes
The expert said.
