Pacific Country Obliteration?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is due to deliver its 'synthesis review'. This 'synthesis review' is expected to give a final scientific warning to the world. The panel's collective view is that we only have a 'few years' (5, 10, 20?) to rapidly transition to low carbon economies. If all countries fail to do this, extreme weather events will irreversibly become the norm. There will be rising sea levels, intense heatwaves, devastating droughts, extensive floods as well as more powerful and regular storms. Fairly obviously, Pacific countries, based as they are on low-laying atolls, are particularly at risk. The Prime Minister of Samoa has already appealed to the world to save his and other Pacific nations from obliteration (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/19/samoa-pm-fiame-naomi-mataafa-urges-world-to-save-pacific-people-from-climate-crisis-obliteration). Many small island nations are already experiencing the negative impacts of climate change. In spite of this, one gets the impression that the planet's big polluters (countries and multinational businesses) are 'intensely relaxed' about climate change. They are often big on pledges but very poor on delivery. It won't, however, only be the small Pacific nations who suffer the dire consequences of the climate emergency. All economies (low carbon or otherwise) will be wrecked. Stop talking and get a move on!
