After the alarming &ldquo;red code for humanity&rdquo; report by the U.N. climate panel was released on Monday, activist Greta Thunberg said that has decided to attend this year&rsquo;s global climate conference at Glasgow in Scotland.</p>
<p>
Thunberg had earlier said she would skip the crucial U.N. global conference scheduled for November as she was concerned that the skewed rollout of COVID-19 vaccines across the world would prevent some countries from attending the meeting safely.</p>
<p>
But Britain&rsquo;s offer in June to vaccinate delegates assuages some of that concern, she said.</p>
<p>
&quot;I&#39;ve said before that I wasn&#39;t going to go if it wasn&#39;t fair,&rdquo; Thunberg said in an interview with Reuters. &ldquo;But now they say that they will vaccinate all the delegates that are going there. If that&#39;s considered fair and safe, then I will hopefully attend.&quot;</p>
<p>
The 18-year-old Swedish activist, who has given a massive worldwide push to the movement for action against climate, said the U.N. report should be &ldquo;a wake-up call, in every possible way&rdquo;.</p>
<p>
&quot;When these extreme weather events are happening, many say, what will it take for people in power to start acting? What are they waiting for?&rdquo; &ldquo;And it will take many things, but especially, it will take massive pressure from the public and massive pressure from the media,&quot; Reuters cited Thunberg as saying.</p>
<p>
The world&#39;s leading climate scientists on Monday,who authored the report,&nbsp; have warned that some of the climate changes already set in motion would be &quot;irreversible.&quot;&nbsp;</p>
<p>
The U.N. climate panel warns that limiting global warming to close to 1.5 degrees Celsius or even 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels &quot;will be beyond reach&quot; in the next two decades without immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.</p>
<p>
U.N. Secretary-General, Ant&oacute;nio Guterres described the report as &quot;a code red for humanity.&quot;</p>
<p>
&quot;The alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable: greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation are choking our planet and putting billions of people at immediate risk,&quot; Guterres said.</p>
