Leonardo DiCaprio puts a nine-year ‘ticking clock’ on climate crisis- is he right?

However instead of the film’s massive comet, it’s the climate crisis he wants us to pay attention to in the real world. “With every additional increment of global warming, changes in extremes continue to become larger,” the IPCC stated last year. Each incremental increase in climate change will cause further harm, she says, and it’s important to remember that they will not be shared equally. Global climate policy, climate change, and its impacts interact with each other elliptically. In other words, once pushed to certain tipping points, they will start producing exponentially more dangerous climate impacts in a negative feedback loop.
