The UN weather agency warned the current rate of increase in heat-trapping gases would result in temperature rises"far in excess" of the 2015 Paris Agreement target and called for a"dramatic increase" in commitments at the upcoming COP26 summit.
WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said the current rate of increase in heat-trapping gases would result in temperature rises "far in excess" of the 2015 Paris Agreement target of 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial average this century. That is far off the 45 per cent reduction by 2030 that scientists say is needed to cap warming at 1.5 degrees and avoid its most devastating impacts.
"I am very worried because it might go wrong and we might not get the agreements that we need and it is touch and go, it is very, very difficult, but I think it can be done," he said. The Kremlin said Mr Putin promised that Russia's delegation to Glasgow "will contribute to a successful work of such an important international forum".The stakes for the planet are huge - among them the very survival of low-lying countries, the impact on economic livelihoods the world over and the future stability of the global financial system.
What gets me is these doomsdayers actually think they can control the climate & weather drivers. So Mother Nature is just irrelevant.

'We are way off track': Greenhouse gas concentrations hit record high in 2020A report by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization showed carbon dioxide levels surged in 2020, despite a temporary dip in emissions during COVID-19 lockdowns. Since 2030 targets will ultimately dictate 2050 targets, great to see our shambolic & dysfunctional federal government concentrating on the latter. 🙃 Meanwhile the media have been focused on China and Racism. Almost as if a distraction was needed. Just too scared to click it 😥
