Climate Crisis: Predictions and Progress

This chapter analyzes the grim forecasts for climate change, particularly the severe impacts of a three-degree Celsius rise by 2100, including mass migration and economic losses. It highlights positive developments in global climate policies, particularly commitments from major polluters like the U.S. and China, while also addressing the challenges in meeting ambitious climate goals. The discussion reflects a shifting political landscape, with some acknowledgment of climate realities, but stresses the need for urgent action to match the scale of the crisis.
