"For the past 20 years, I have been working to understand how severe
climate change will be in the coming century. Scientists know that
Earth’s climate responds to both changes in greenhouse gas levels in the
atmosphere and changes in land use. This report makes clear that solving
the climate crisis will require serious choices about how humans
interact with the land systems that provide our societies with food,
water and shelter.
The story is not all doom and gloom. There are strategies that can
reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land use, food production and
agriculture, and also generate economic and social benefits. Acting on
these recommendations would be a big step toward addressing climate
change in a meaningful way."
The researcher’s name is fitting.
