According to the current study from Potsdam, the damage expected by the middle of the century will cost six times more than measures to limit global warming to 2 degrees.

Climate conference brought for climate protection? Otto: The short answer: nothing.

that fossil energies have no future. Yes, there are still loopholes and a clear exit would have been even better. Nevertheless, eight years ago the IPCC's forecast for global warming by the end of the century was still up to 4,7 degrees Celsius. The researchers are now warning of 2,4 to three degrees – assuming climate protection measures are taken. That's not enough, but it is...

In Spain, due to the drought, tankers may soon have to bring drinking water to Catalonia. Climate change seems to be becoming more and more tangible.
