A bombshell"code red" for humanity warned Earth's average temperature will reach 1.5C a decade earlier than projected only three years ago.PARIS - A failure to slash global emissions is setting the world on a"catastrophic" path to 2.7 degrees Celsius heating, UN chief Antonio Guterres warned just weeks before crunch climate talks.
The figure would shatter the temperature targets of the Paris climate agreement, which aimed for warming well below 2C and preferably capped at 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. But a bombshell"code red" for humanity from the world's pre-eminent body on global warming in August warned that Earth's average temperature will be 1.5C higher around 2030, a decade earlier than projected only three years ago.
"Overall greenhouse gas emission numbers are moving in the wrong direction," said UN climate chief Patricia Espinosa in a press conference. The Paris deal included a"ratchet" mechanism in which signatories agreed to a rolling five-year review of their climate pledges in which they are supposed to display ever greater ambition for action.That includes China -- the world's biggest emitter -- has said it will reach net zero emissions by 2060 but has not yet delivered its NDC that would spell out emissions reductions by 2030.
"They are the countries which have caused this crisis and yet are failing to show the leadership required to lead us out of this mess," he said.Another issue on the table at the Glasgow summit will be a pledge as yet unfulfilled -- the pledge by wealthy nations to provide annual climate funding of $100-billion from 2020 to poorer countries, who bear the greatest impact of warming.
