An international group of researchers has plotted the different ways on one table to drive home the urgency of the climate change crisis. A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change delves into past studies that outline effects of emissions on the climate, and traces a shocking 467 pathways through which humanity has already been affected. The idea is to inject a sense of urgency in the approach to climate change by highlighting the several likely hazards all at once. The study lists the effects the changing climate has had on human health, water, food, economy, infrastructure, and security, through hazards like heatwaves, droughts, floods, fires, storms, sea-level rise, changes in natural land cover, and oceanic chemistry. Senior assistant editor, Sandhya Ramesh explains why climate change is a serious issue and why we need to take immediate actions.
