United Nations Climate Warning
The United Nations has issued a warning stating that there are only two years left to save the planet from catastrophic climate change. Simon Steele, the UN's climate chief, emphasizes that global warming is no longer a top priority for politicians and business leaders, with the urgency of halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to prevent severe temperature increases. However, the likelihood of achieving this goal is deemed slim, as it would require major economic powers to significantly reduce emissions, which is deemed unlikely.
