Will the government take heed of the IPCC warnings?

Yesterday the UN body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Change, released its latest report on the pace of global warming and it made for some grim reading.

It urged a "transformational shift" in the way we live if we are to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, including an end to coal fired power in just 22 years.

But that's not all everything would have to change, from agriculture and land use, to transport and the built environment.

What's the chances of that happening?
