Climate Researchers in Interview - "How Can That Be?" Expert Latif Despairs of World Climate Conference

The climate conference in Egypt has come to an end without any concrete results. Climate researcher Mojib Latif is disappointed and sees the 1.5-degree target as being out of reach.

"We are sleepwalking into a climate catastrophe," warns climate researcher Mojib Latif. He sees the 1.5-degree target as being out of reach. The climate conference in Egypt has come to an end without any concrete results. Latif is disappointed and sees the 1.5-degree target as being out of reach.

The world is on the brink of a climate catastrophe, and the international community is failing to take effective action to avert it. This is the dire warning from climate researcher Mojib Latif, who is deeply disappointed by the lack of concrete results from the recent climate conference in Egypt.

The conference, which was supposed to be a major step towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement, ended without any significant progress. This has left Latif and many other climate scientists deeply concerned about the future of the planet.

"We are sleepwalking into a climate catastrophe," Latif said in an interview with the German newspaper Der Spiegel. "The 1.5-degree target is out of reach. We have to wake up and take action now."

The 1.5-degree target is a key goal of the Paris Agreement. It aims to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This is the level at which scientists believe the most dangerous impacts of climate change can be avoided.

However, the world is currently on track to warm by more than 2 degrees Celsius, and emissions are continuing to rise. Latif said that the world is "running out of time" to take action on climate change.

"We need to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030," Latif said. "This is a huge challenge, but it is essential if we want to avoid the worst impacts of climate change."

Latif said that he is particularly disappointed by the lack of action from rich countries, which have the greatest responsibility for climate change. He said that these countries need to do more to reduce their emissions and provide financial assistance to developing countries.

"The world is facing a climate emergency," Latif said. "We need to act now, before it is too late."
