With Arctic sea ice melting away faster than anyone had predicted, the climate seems more sensitive than almost anyone thought, placing us in the middle of a climate emergency that cannot be ignored or brushed aside. The Public Interest Centreâs âClimate Safetyâ report gives a clear and simple summary of the latest science, and shows how our current handling of the problem has exposed us to serious and growing risks. The report delivers a clear message that to have any chance of maintaining a safe climate, we must rapidly decarbonise our society, preserve global sinks, and address the problem with an unprecedented degree of seriousness. Even with a commitment to 80% carbon cuts by 2050, âClimate Safetyâ warns that our current policy response does not match up to the scale of the challenge. At this launch event, recorded last Autumn, the panelists discuss how we can get beyond âpolitics-as-usualâ and achieve a full, emergency response. www.climatesafety.org www.pirc.info/content/view/60/54/ www.climateradio.org
