IPCC author Hans-Otto Pörtner: Why the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change urgently needs to be reformed. Last month was the warmest February globally since weather records began, reported the EU Earth observation program Copernicus.
This marks the ninth month in a row that a global temperature record has been reached. According to the measurements, February this year was 1.77 degrees Celsius warmer than the average for the years 1850 to 1900. The German climate researcher is concerned about how quickly the window of possible sustainable development is closing.
