Oil, gas and coal output already planned or in the pipeline will overwhelm efforts to cap global warming at levels consistent with a liveable planet, the UN and leading research groups warned Wednesday.A major UN report last year concluded that global CO2 emissions must drop 45 per cent by 2030
If temperature rise is to be limited to 1.5C, planned fossil fuel production is more than double what can be tolerated.With only 1C of warming to date, the world has seen a crescendo of deadly heatwaves, flooding, and superstorms made more destructive by accelerating sea level rise. A major UN report last year concluded that global CO2 emissions must drop 45 per cent by 2030 — and reach"net zero" by 2050 — to cap temperature rise at 1.5C.
"We show for the first time just how big the disconnect is between Paris temperature goals and countries' plans and policies for coal, oil and gas production," said lead author Michael Lazarus, director of the Stockholm Environment Institute's US Centre.
China doesn't care so why should we? anyway AGW is a hoax...how many times do I have to say it?
Yay just as we slip into a cooling phase due to the Solar Minimum. That will be inconvenient for the scaremongers and doomers.
My understanding is that India and China have no limits under Paris agreement until 2030. That is a crazy situation in a so called emergency.
The ideologues at the UN hmm really.
But Australia and Canada get the blame 😂😂😂
Just sick & tired of these lies.
UN also has Saudi Arabia on the women's rights council.....
Bullshit
'not today' GladysB
Fake bs ABC style news!!!!!
Absolute BS....! From the communist socialist anti-capitalist PTBF loving ABC.....
The cult is indoctrinating, listen to the hiss.
damian_butler There is a hope. it's called
I thought the UN were going bust? No money left kinda thing, then again perhaps Soros has stumped up some more cash.
ABC “news” you lying coat’s invented fake news. defundtheabc
the UN, lol
And the Australian and Qland government is contributing to this disaster by subsidising the ‘unviable’ Adani coal mine to the tune of $4.4bio. stopadani
So - has the ABC invented a way yet to make steel without using coal? Because nobody else has… Do we really want a world without steel?
WARNING! The ABC are the leading experts in 'FAKE NEWS'. Viewer Discretion is advised. Post Script: The ABC deliberately and callously interfered in the last Federal election. deletetheabc from your smart tv.
So by the ABC's 'Settled Science' theory, the world will surely end in less than 5 yrs, just like the UN promised it would end in 2020 😉😉 .
The world? China, you mean.
