In this video by The YEARS Project, climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe provides a quick take on the relevance of the IPCC‘s 2030 goals and our progress towards those goals. She addresses a recurring question, “Is climate change going to kill us all in 10 years?”

This question stems from misunderstandings of the October 8, 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which lays out how much we need to reduce pollution in order to avoid catastrophic climate change and irreversible damage.
