The UN calls for greenhouse gases for the year are removed … – TeleCinco.es

United Nations presented the conclusions of a report summarizing the views of more than 800 scientists in which the countries of the world to reduce to zero emissions of pollutant gases by 2100 is requested.

“There is a myth that climate action will cost us much, but if we do not we cost more,” said the UN secretary general, Ban Ki Moon, in the press conference for the presentation of the report in Copenhagen.

So, Ban said that “the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has found that the influence of humans on climate is emphatic, and the need to act without doubt, since we have the means to do “in comments made by the BBC.

The report, 40 pages, summarizes the over 5000 worksheets published since September 2013 in which it alerts the international community of the profound effects of climate change. Specifically, the UN requires a fundamental goal: to prevent the average temperature rises two degrees above pre-Industrial Revolution era; temperature has risen 0.85 degrees.

by emission of gaseous pollutants “should be reduced to near zero or less by 2100,” according to the recommendations end of the study, which will serve as master guide ahead of the summit in Paris in late 2015, which is expected to renew the global commitment against climate change after the Kyoto Protocol.

“IT IS NOT TOO LATE”

The NGO WWF has called attention to the world’s governments. “It’s not too late to prevent catastrophic climate change. A quick and decisive action to move away from fossil fuels can keep the temperature increase below 2 ° C, which is the threshold set by the science, and agreed to by governments, to avoid dangerous climate change, “said the organization.

However, the NGO remember that there is” carbon budget “, ie, the limit of what we can deliver, and has been used since almost everything. Globally, the NGO says emissions must decline rapidly, with peak emissions this decade and decline to zero by mid-century if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change. Governments, businesses and, indeed, all of us, we must take steps to achieve the phase-out of fossil fuels entirely.

“Adaptation to climate change is essential, but there are limits to it. Without immediate action on emissions and limiting the impacts, adaptation will not be enough to protect the lives, livelihoods and ecosystems that people depend on, “noted NGO.

“Action to reduce emissions and adapt to the impacts involves seriously consider issues such as equity and justice. If we do not act, we will jeopardize efforts to reduce poverty and jeopardized the food security, water and livelihoods of many people in poorer countries. Also let the youth of today and future generations with an almost insurmountable challenge, “he says.
