Greenhouse gas concentrations hit a record last year and the world is "way off track" on capping rising temperatures, the United Nations says, ahead of climate talks in Glasgow aimed at averting dangerous levels of global warming.Australia is expected to formally approve a target of net zero by 2050A report by the United Nations World Meteorological Organization showed carbon dioxide levels surged to 413.
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."We need to revisit our industrial, energy and transport systems and whole way of life."
Mr Taalas then called for a "dramatic increase" in commitments at the COP26 conference beginning on Sunday.In Australia, federal Cabinet is set to formally approve the government's net-zero emissions target, just days before Prime Minister Scott Morrison flies out for the climate talks in Scotland.The Glasgow climate talks have been labelled the world's last best chance to cap global warming at the 1.5-2 degrees Celsius upper limit set out in the Paris Agreement.
"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 stakes for the planet are huge — among them the impact on economic livelihoods the world over and the future stability of the global financial system.
Here we go ... reassuring that Aunty is still alive and well ABC = Activism Before Correctness Slavishly reporting the completely corrupt and useless UNs missives without the slightest question or investigative inquiry ... Of course its all part of the agenda ...

Just too scared to click it 😥
Meanwhile the media have been focused on China and Racism. Almost as if a distraction was needed.
Since 2030 targets will ultimately dictate 2050 targets, great to see our shambolic & dysfunctional federal government concentrating on the latter. 🙃

Queensland records zero new COVID-19 cases as state hits 60pc vaccine milestoneQueensland has recorded zero new COVID-19 cases as the state achieved its 60 per cent double dose vaccination milestone. 20% to go. Let’s get this done QLD. Praying for 90% so I don’t have to go through the trauma of PCR testing ever time I fly o/s, as I’m highly phobic of anything medical and it’s not a quick/straightforward thing for me. Ok tell me how dangerous is this Covid? How come when you get two vaccines, you can still get it & transmit it and you still need a booster shot maybe for ever! Why would anyone with a healthy immune system get a vaccine? You work for sociopaths, psychopaths and what do you think they will do when your job is done?

Split opinions over green credentials of Woodside's new Kwinana hydrogen hubGas giant Woodside says a $1 billion hydrogen and ammonia plant will set WA up as a global clean energy powerhouse, as the Conservation Council of WA questions the project's green credentials. It uses natural gas doesn't it? Is there really split opinions? Both Mark and the company say the facility is not going to be entirely green. 🤔 Not green unless the energy inputs are green it really quite simply. If you use the hydrogen to power the gas plant well then maybe but I can’t see wood side cutting it own throat on it gas interests 😂😂😂😂
