Why the next three months are crucial for the future of the planet
Extreme weather events have struck around the world – from the drought and record temperatures in northern Europe, to forest fires in the US, to heatwaves and drought in China, to an unusually strong monsoon that has devastated large areas of southern India.
This week, scientists are gathering in South Korea to draw together the last five years of advances in climate science to answer key questions for policymakers.
What is expected to emerge will be the strongest warning yet that these unusual occurrences will add up to a pattern that can only be overcome with drastic action.
From London to Shanghai, world's sinking cities face devastating floods
The warning comes as the world’s leading climate scientists meet this week in South Korea to finalise a comprehensive study setting out whether and how the world can avoid temperature rises of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the body of scientists convened by the UN, has been asked to examine the consequences of such a rise and assess what progress can be made to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

'Brazil is at war': election plays out amid homicidal violence
Ahead of Sunday’s vote, the country’s uncontrolled violence is fuelling support for the far-right pacemaker Jair Bolsonaro, who has opened up a 10-point lead over his closest rival, the Workers’ party (PT) candidate, Fernando Haddad, with many followers citing security as their main reason for championing the 63-year-old politician.
But Latin America’s largest democracy suffered a record 63,880 homicideslast year – more than 6,000 of them in the north-eastern state of Bahia, where Feira is located – and Bolsonaro has promised no-nonsense fixes, including loosening gun laws.

China denounces 'ridiculous' US claims of election meddling
Vice President Pence said Beijing's actions add up to a simple message: 'China wants a different American president.'
Pence also denounced China's manoeuvres in the South China Sea, its oppression of Christians, Muslims and other religious adherents as well as Chinese President Xi Jinping's signature infrastructure and foreign policy initiative.
"What the Russians are doing pales in comparison to what China is doing across this country and the American people deserve to know. China wants to turn these voters against our administration.": Pence
China has maintained a calm tone as US language escalates. China's Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai - in an interview with National Public Radio aired shortly before Pence's address - said there was a "much larger need for cooperation" than competition with Washington.
