Climate change is a real global emergency and is affecting all countries. The consequences of such change, if unaddressed, will be devastating.

At the UN Italian Environment Minister Steers Clear of Salvini-Trump Propaganda

It was a pleasant surprise to hear the Italian Minister of the Environment address the urgency behind climate change. As the current Italian administration under Deputy Prime Minister Salvini mirrors all of US President Trump’s rhetoric, who thought the Minister of the Environment would acknowledge that climate change is not only a real issue, but also a critical one that deserves immediate attention.

United Nations Releases SDGs Report 2019. Have You Heard the Alarm Yet?

Climate change is causing “catastrophic” and “irreversible” damage to the environment. If greenhouse gas emissions are not cut, global warming will continue to surpass the acceptable 1.5 degrees Celsius limit above the pre-industrial baseline, sea levels will continue to rise and ocean acidification will continue to accelerate. One million plant and animal species risk extinction... Also requiring our immediate attention is “inequality among and within other countries.” Liu Zhenmin states that, “Poverty, hunger, and disease continue to affect those that are the poorest and the most vulnerable.”

UN SG Guterres Warns of a “Global Political Warming” at G20 Summit

L’ONU lancia l’allarme: il nostro pianeta ostaggio di “apartheid climatico”

Parole durissime confermate da dati scientifici che, giorno dopo giorno, ribadiscono che il riscaldamento globale (negato da alcuni “esperti” come quelli scelti dal presidente degli USA, Donald Trump) è ben al di sopra di quello che volevano far credere alcuni. Nei giorni scorsi, l’Organizzazione meteorologica mondiale (Omm) ha confermato di aver registrato, nel 2016 e nel 2017, temperature “estreme” in Kuwait e Pakistan. Fino a che punto “estreme”? Basti pensare che sono talmente alte da aver sfiorato il valore più elevato mai registrato da un termometro sulla superficie della Terra
