IPCC Science Fast Facts

Infographic titled "3 Key Points from the IPCC Report" with three circular icons beneath. The first icon shows a cloud with lightning bolts, captioned "current extremes are linked to climate change". The second icon depicts arrows with dashed lines, captioned "we have the ability to change the system". The third icon shows a leaf, captioned "start rapidly reducing emissions now".

1.    Emissions from humans have warmed the atmosphere

2.    The changes are unprecedented 

3.    The current extreme events can be linked to climate change 

4.    Changes in extremes get more frequent and intense as emissions rise and more widespread and more pronounced.

5.    Many changes are not likely to be reversed for centuries to millennia

6.    Warming levels will go over 1.5 and 2 degrees unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale emissions reductions 

7.    Plus some carbon dioxide removal 

8.    Positives: we have the ability and the tools to change

9.    Under all projected scenarios, carbon dioxide emissions go down to at least net zero. It just depends how hard and fast it happens
