Reacción a "Reactions to the IPCC synthesis report urging more ambitious action to combat climate change"

One of the most important points to highlight from this new report is the fact that the benefits associated with decarbonising the global economy are as great or greater than the cost of inaction and thus of unmitigated climate impacts. This demonstrates that the health benefits due to reduced pollution, increased energy independence of countries and the development of a more equal, smarter and more energy and material efficient society are reasons that add to the urgent need for a rapid decarbonisation of the economy. 

In the last two years, when the IPCC has published the reports of this latest assessment cycle, the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are responsible for more than 90 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions, the most important gas in climate change. Even more worryingly, fossil fuel emissions continue to grow. Clearly, the world's governments are not keeping their word to reduce emissions as the IPCC science indicates.
