After a pandemic year that saw the world turned on its head, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\'s forthcoming report offers a distressing vision of the decades to come: malnutrition, water insecurity, pestilence. Policy choices made now can reduce these health consequences, but many are simply unavoidable in the short term, the report said. It also warns of the cascading impacts that simultaneous crop failures, falling nutritional value of basic food stuffs, and soaring price inflation are likely to have on some of the world\'s most vulnerable people.

Turmoil for humans! This is the latest announcement by scientists regarding the climate crisis that is happening. The report, made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a science-based document that comprehensively describes the environmental emergency.

This research was done by processing 14,000 scientific papers from empirical studies carried out over the last three years. The project involved the cooperation of 234 scientists from 65 countries. The gist of the report is scientific proof that human actions have had an impact on the Earth, which is increasingly heating.
