Images of global warming are worth a thousand words. They demonstrate the damage we have already caused to our planet. Global warming is likely to reach 1.5\u00b0C between 2030 and 2052 if greenhouse gas emissions are not curtailed, as warned by the IPCC.<\/span><\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n By far, the largest contributor is energy production, at 72 per cent of all emissions.<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Other major sources are transportation, manufacturing and agriculture, accounting for 15, 12 and 11 per cent respectively.<\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span> A major shift in the way we produce energy, food, materials and vehicles is needed to avoid climate change. Some argue that carbon capture and storage could be the answer.<\/span>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Others point to protecting the world’s forests and reducing fossil fuel consumption.<\/span>5<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The following pictures provide a chilling insight into what will happen if we simply do nothing.<\/p>\n Global warming has already caused “multiple observed changes in the climate system”.<\/span><\/span>6<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/span>These are anticipated to worsen as the temperature continues to rise.
