A United Nations climate panel said in a report on Thursday that divesting from fossil fuels alone won't be enough to limit warming from climate change, adding that issues including deforestation and agriculture must be addressed to drive down greenhouse gas emissions.
"Land plays an important role in the climate system," Jim Skea, co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said in a press release. "The whole world has warmed by about 1.1 degrees Celsius, 2 degrees Fahrenheit, from the pre-industrial period, but if you look at the land areas they warm about 50% faster," he told ABC News, adding that the difference is partly because oceans have a greater capacity to absorb heat.
Destroying forests actually releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those trees no longer can absorb additional CO2 that otherwise enters the atmosphere, she added. Hausfather said that while most of the focus in the U.S. tends to be on domestic impacts of climate change, countries that emit less greenhouse gas suffer the most as temperatures and sea levels rise.
