(Woodwell Climate Research Center) In 2019, a coalition of more than 11,000 scientists from across the globe declared a climate emergency and established a set of vital signs for the Earth in order to measure effective climate action. Now, twenty months later, a new study published today in BioScience finds that those indicators — including ice and forest loss, ocean acidity, and global temperatures — reflect the consequences of unrelenting “business-as-usual” on climate change.
