Pacific warns ‘Earth on red alert’ for climate crisis

A global stock take has warned the earth’s atmosphere will heat up by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels unless nations produce tougher policies.

The UK-based New Climate Institute says some countries have yet to submit a climate plan and others such as Australia are judged to have offered no substantial improvement on their previous proposals.
