The report detailed that nothing less than keeping all fossil fuels in the ground is the solution to avoid future calamities. Whilst that may already seem quite scary, there's a lot you're still not being told. The actual situation could be much worse. The IPCC report is based on the consensus view of the hundreds of top scientists who make up the IPCC. This means a 'middle ground' scenario is likely to be the one we've been fed. As Jamie Henn, co-founder of the international climate group 350.org, stated in a tweet, the "scariest thing about the IPCC Report" is the fact that "it's the watered down, consensus version. The latest science is much, much, much more terrifying." There's a term you might hear when talking about the climate, 'Tipping Point'. What this means is the moment when climate change is irreversible. What Jamie Henn and others are concerned about is that, even as we reach global warming of 1C, the set of events that this could put in place, may lead to a snowballing effect which could dramatically change the world's climate before we can stop it. Essentially the planet as we know it, will no longer exist. But none of this is said to scare you. Just to make you eat less meat, buy less things and be nice.
