> The 2015 Paris Agreement saw countries agree to cap global warming at “well below” 2C above preindustrial times — with a safer limit of 1.5C if possible.
>Nearly 1.2C of global heating so far has already unleashed an escalating barrage of deadly impacts across the planet.
UNEP said temperatures have gone above 1.5C for more than 80 days already this year, although the Paris warming thresholds will be measured as an average over several decades.
The Emissions Gap report looks at the difference between the planet-heating pollution that will still be released under countries’ decarbonisation plans and what science says is needed to keep to the goals of the Paris Agreement.
By 2030, UNEP said, global emissions will have to be 28 percent lower than current policies would suggest in order to stay below 2C, and 42 percent lower for the more ambitious limit of 1.5C.
So we are fucked. 1/2 of people in the US are saying fuck the environment, and another half think they’re saving the planet by continuing to drive 15,000 miles a year in a massive suv, but this time you see, it’s electric….
lol we are beyond fucked. good luck future generations, you’re going to need it
