Beskydy mountains, below the ridge we meet a spotted newt. There's still plenty of water here. The ridge of the mountains catches the clouds, there is moss everywhere, beautiful shades of green around us. Green light, the way the sun shines through the young leaves of the beeches. It's been like this since the end of the ice age, at least 10,000 years. In a few decades it will probably end, this type of forest will not survive the temperature rise and water shortage due to

"Poorer nations must be transparent over climate spending, says Cop29 leader"

Hundreds of the worlds leading climate scientists expect global temperatures to rise to at least 2.5C (4.5F) this century, blasting past internationally agreed targets and causing catastrophic consequences for humanity and the planet, an exclusive Guardian survey has revealed.

The Guardian and a consensus of 380 IPCC members are painting an accurate but very depressing picture of the .

The world, especially its politicians, needs to wake up to what is inevitably going to continue to unfold over the next few decades. It's not about having a bit more rain and some uncomfortably warm summers, and a few islands we can't afford to visit disappearing under water. It's about floods, fires, storms, food insecurity, mass migration and in the worst case scenario societal collapse.

Hundreds of the worlds leading climate scientists expect global temperatures to rise to at least 2.5C (4.5F) this century, blasting past internationally agreed targets and causing catastrophic consequences for humanity and the , an exclusive Guardian survey has revealed.

Almost 80% of the respondents, all from the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( ), foresee at least 2.5C of global heating above preindustrial levels, while almost half anticipate at least 3C (5.4F). Only 6% thought the internationally agreed 1.5C (2.7F) limit will be met."

Many of the scientists envisage a semi-dystopian future, with , and mass , driven by , , and of an intensity and frequency far beyond those that have already struck.

"That all this heat is going into the ocean, and in fact, it's warming in some respects even more rapidly than we thought, is a cause for great concern,"
Prof Mike Meredith British Antarctic Survey.

"The Atlantic has been warmer than usual, and this is not a pattern you normally associate with El Nio - so it's something somehow different," explains Carlo Buontempo, director of Copernicus.
