The summit's organisers say they want countries to commit to keeping Earth on course for the 1.5C goal through redoubled pledges to decarbonise their economies.

"As world leaders prepare for COP26, this report is another thundering wake-up call. How many do we need?" "To stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5C, we have eight years to almost halve greenhouse gas emissions," said UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen.UNEP said that the COVID-19 pandemic led to an "unprecedented" 5.4 per cent drop in global emissions in 2020.

Report co-author Anne Ohloff told AFP that it showed there had been "some progress" on emissions since the Paris Agreement. This year's Emissions Gap report focused on the role in global heating played by methane, the most potent greenhouse gas.

Greenhouse gas concentrations hit record high last year, as UN warns 'we are way off track'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. Greenhouse gas concentrations hit a record last year when they voted to change State of Emergency Laws in Victoria. Looks like they will do the same this year. Much like FAKE closing down sales...

Almost as if a distraction was needed. Just too scared to click it 😥
