As global temperatures rise and signs of climate change become more apparent than ever, the United Nations’ intergovernmental panel on climate change has just released an overwhelming announcement on the dangers and true effects climate change is having and will continue to have on earth.

The report is 3000 pages and “provides an unprecedented degree of clarity about the future of our planet, and the need to reduce – and ultimately eliminate – our emissions of greenhouse gases,” said Zeke Hausfather.

Another key takeaway from the U.N. issued report is that the average global temperature is liable to reach or get very close to the 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warming boundary within 20 years.
