Climate change: More studies needed on possibility of human extinction
Catastrophic climate change outcomes, including human extinction, are not being taken seriously enough by scientists, a new study says.
The authors say that the consequences of more extreme warming - still on the cards if no action is taken - are "dangerously underexplored".
They argue that the world needs to start preparing for the possibility of what they term the "climate endgame".
They want UN scientists to investigate the risk of catastrophic change.
