Snooze Button

A figure in bed holds a pillow over its globe for a head as it hits the snooze button on a bedside alarm, saying 'Five more minutes'. The alarm is called 'Climate change report'.

In 2023 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its sixth Synthesis Report since it began reporting in the early 1990s. It carried an urgent call to action, citing a continual increase in global greenhouse gas emissions and current global warming of 1.1 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The IPCC said emissions must be halved if the world is to limit warming to 1.5 degrees, but Harry Bruce asks if this is enough of a global wake-up call.
