Scientists: Humanity Risks "Untold Suffering" from Climate Change
-----------------------------------------------------------------

A group of scientists has issued a dire warning: "The climate crisis has
arrived and is accelerating faster than most scientists expected. It is
more severe than anticipated, threatening natural ecosystems and the
fate of humanity." That's according to a new statement signed by over
11,000 scientists from over 150 countries, published in the journal Bio
Science. The scientists warn of "untold suffering" unless the global
society undergoes a "major transformation" in order to address the
crisis.
