Predictions of climate change are ‘speeding up’

Deputy Labor Leader Richard Marles says the IPCC report shows the predictions of climate change are speeding up rather than slowing down and meaningful action is required. The landmark climate report has warned global warming will hit 1.5 degrees Celsius between 2030 and 2035 a decade earlier than previously projected. Its a very significant report, since these reports have been since they were first issued by the IPCC and its obviously deeply concerning, Mr Marles told Sky News Australia. We need to have meaningful and real action in respect of climate change. What this report is showing is that the predictions of climate change in fact are speeding up rather than slowing down. Its really been part of our DNA for decades actually to have meaningful action on climate change. We certainly did when we were last in government, its why right now we are committed to net zero emissions by 2050. But its why its so important that the government actually starts acting itself, starts committing to those measures which really are contained in the Paris accord. Read More Our Apps
