Kerry warns ‘world is way off pace to avert catastrophic climate impacts’

As the UK suffers flooding again, and a new study suggests flooding across the country could increase by 15-35% by 2080, John Kerry, the US’s new climate envoy, has warned that the world is lagging behind the required pace of change needed to avert catastrophic impacts from the climate crisis:
We need to all move together, because today very few are on a trajectory of the steep reductions needed to meet even current goals, let alone the targets we need to avert catastrophic damage.
