Global Warming Threatens 70% of World’s Population: Urgent Action Needed to Prevent Climate Catastrophe
If no action is taken, 70% of the global population could face extreme weather due to climate change within the next 20 years. Following the Paris Accords could reduce this number to 20%, but continued reliance on fossil fuels in countries like India, China, and the U.S. is hampering progress. Despite some efforts in wind and solar, the chances of mitigating global warming are diminishing rapidly. Immediate action is critical to prevent the majority of the world from facing severe climate-related weather events.
