Head of Climate Change and Renewable Energy at Centre for Science & Environment has said the impact of climate change is now visible to the northern world that's why scientists conclude greenhouse gas emissions are choking our planet and placing billions of people in danger.

"It is due to the fact that the last couple of years, in the last decade, the impact is visible to the Northern World," said Samrat Sengupta.

According to the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report, scientists are observing changes in the Earth’s climate in every region and throughout the climate system.

It says many of the changes observed in the climate are unprecedented in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years.

Adding that, some of the changes already set in motion such as continued sea-level rise are irreversible over hundreds to thousands of years.

But Samrat stated that, in the initial phase, communities on the north thought that, due to the availability of their affluent resources, they will be able to share themselves out of the impact.

"....but now they have understood in the last few years, we have seen that the devastating impact as climate change and global warming impacting north America, Europe,  probably seem to be much more vulnerable than the south," he told JoyNews' Mahmud Mohammed-Nurudeen via Zoom interview.

He said the south, somehow, has integrated into its lifestyle the adaptive that global north has lost with its affluent.

IPCC Working Group I Co-Chair Valérie Masson-Delmotte says, “This report is a reality check. We now have a much clearer picture of the past, present, and future climate, which is essential for understanding where we are headed, what can be done, and how we can prepare.”

But again, Samrat said nothing has changed in the last decade, that IPCC talks with 100 percent certainty that it is due to human activity only.

"It is well known. Only political diversion of that taking because the framework was in place." He indicated.

He however expressed worry the world still depends on nature to absorb some portion of the carbon dioxide.

The IPCC's report also shows that human actions can still determine future climate development.

It provides clear evidence that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary driver of climate change, even as other greenhouse gases and air pollutants also influence climate.

Many experts have said that stabilizing the climate will require strong, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and net-zero reduction in CO2 emissions.

For the first time, the Sixth Assessment Report provides a more detailed regional assessment of climate change.

It also provides a focus on useful information that can inform risk assessment, adaptation, and other decision-making, and a new framework that helps translate physical changes in the climate.
