n “induced implosion”
of the fossil fuel industry must take place for there to be any chance of
avoiding dangerous global warming, according to one of the world’s most
influential climate scientists.
 |
| Professor Hans Joachim Schellnhuber - 'induced implosion' to avoid catastrophe. |
Professor Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, an adviser to the
German government and Pope Francis, said on Friday: “In the end it is a moral
decision. Do you want to be part of the generation that screwed up the planet
for the next 1,000 years? I don’t think we should make that decision.”
Schellnhuber was speaking at a major science conference in
Paris, taking place before a crunch UN summit in December, also in the city, at
which nations must seal a deal on global warming. World leaders were sent a
stark message in the communique issued by the conference, which warned that the
opportunity to avoid disaster is rapidly diminishing.
