Description
The International Monetary Fund report says the failure to get emissions on the correct course by 2030 may lock global warming above two degrees and risk a catastrophic tipping point at which climate change becomes self-perpetuating. <br />It noted that those who were more concerned about climate change tend to be female, more educated, followers of news, and more accepting of the government’s role in regulating the economy. <br />Data shows that public transport users and those that rely less on cars are also more concerned about climate change. <br />IMF says while governments have ambitious goals, the world has yet to be on track to contain global warming to 1.5 to two degrees Celsius, adding that public support for climate action relies on policy awareness.
