Is the 1.5°C climate target still possible? – BBC News
Every country in the world signed up to a common goal at the 2015 climate change conference in Paris: to limit the average global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
But seven years on at the COP27 climate summit in Egypt, has this been achieved?
“The 1.5°C goal is on life support,” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres told this year’s summit, “we are getting dangerously close to the point of no return”.
Global warming temperatures have reduced since the Paris agreement, but for the target to be reached, all countries have to “step up”, according to US climate envoy John Kerry.

There have been a lot of sanctions programmes against Iran. But this week US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Operation Economic Outcast, which promises to go further than ever before.
It will punish not just Iran but any country helping Iran – including China. It is the Trump administration’s latest attempt to end the war. Will it work?
We speak to Vali Nasr, professor of international affairs and Middle East studies at Johns Hopkins University, and ask whether in trying to end one war, President Trump risks starting a global trade conflict.

At least 224 people are dead and a state of emergency has been declared after Colombia was hit by one of its largest earthquakes in years.
The death toll is likely to rise, with more feared trapped under collapsed buildings.
The magnitude 7.4 quake struck at 07:34 (12:34 GMT) at a depth of 103km (64 miles) in Chocó province, the country’s geological service said. It was felt across an enormous area, stretching for hundreds of miles across western Colombia.
Many of the deaths have been concentrated in Cali, Colombia’s third most populous city.

During 2011-2018, the world spent US$3.6 trillion on climate change projects – 55% of which was spent on solar and wind projects. Despite this wind and solar energy still produced only 3% of world energy consumption in the year 2018. Not only are they expensive and ineffective, the review found that these projects sometimes contribute to problems they were designed to solve. Both wind and solar farms are themselves causing local climate change. And, they have a devastating effect on biodiversity

To limit global warming, rich countries like Canada must end oil and gas production by 2034: report —————–
For the world to have a shot at limiting global warming to 1.5 C, Canada and other wealthy fossil fuel producing nations need to stop all production by 2034, according to a new report.
The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions required to secure a livable future is “far more challenging” than any global leader is prepared to acknowledge, said Kevin Anderson, one of the authors of the report and a professor of energy and climate change at the University of Manchester. Emissions from fossil fuels are one of the main drivers of human-caused climate change.
Published on March 21, the report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development proposes different phaseout dates for oil and gas producing countries by grouping them according to their differing wealth, development and economic reliance on fossil fuels.
It found there isn’t room for any country in the world to increase fossil fuel production, and wealthy countries like Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. must be the first to end production to give smaller, poorer nations an equitable transition and provide them with financial support. The richest countries, which produce over a third of the world’s oil and gas, must cut output by 74 per cent by 2030 while the poorest, which supply just one ninth of global demand, must cut back by 14 per cent.
If wealthy countries end fossil fuel production by 2034, middle-income countries by 2043 and the poorest countries by 2050, the world will have a 50 per cent chance of keeping global warming below 1.5 C, according to the report.
“Would we be prepared to put our children on a plane with a 50/50 chance they're going to land safely?” Anderson asked. “I think we probably wouldn't … Why is it better to take that risk with their futures?”
A recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that even if countries act urgently and limit global warming to 1.5 C — the threshold scientists say is necessary to maintain a livable planet — the world will still face “unavoidable” and steadily worsening impacts from climate change over the next two decades.

I am totally in favor of global warming. I hate the long, cold winters in Vail, Colorado, where I live. So a year ago I began focusing on increasing my carbon footprint. Thus far I have been able to raise the average daily temperature in Colorado by 4 degrees. I will continue increasing my carbon footprint until I can grow palm trees in my yard. Freedom!

Assuming the scientific industry have technologies undisclosed, why would they invent a car that needs batteries from earth minerals, cobalt lithium, when batteries last 5 years max? can you imagine how many batteries will be required in 2030? Knowing that new technologies exist why not disclose and share ? Perhaps because there will be no need by 2030 for that many cars? a change is coming !!

OK tell these activists to save the environment they need to get rid of their new vehicles! stop using electricity and gas to heat and cool their home! to start pissing and shitting in a hole in the ground not poulet rivers/lakes/streams! tell them to rip down their houses and live in caves, and maybe after a thousand years there might be enough change to notice

consumption, consumption, consumption and more consumption!!!….the same sh*t overt and over again. If no-one reduces their consumption then there is no progress. I live in Germany and you see fit young kids with new electric bicycles. It's hilarious, we're teaching our kids to be environmentally responsible and buying them a bicycle with a limited battery life instead of a bike that will last them indefinitely. Please tell me what is environmentally friendly about that. I work as a tyre fitter and maximum every two years the customers have a new car, when they could drive the car for 15 years at least. The world runs on profit and equality or environment doesn't come into it. and no I'm not being hypocritical, until recently I drove a 20 year old car but now travel by bicycle(100% pedal powered). P.s. No I'm not a vegetarian but I do believe in moderation and ethically sourced meat.
haters come at me….

They own mutual one housing that is constantly using energy. We have wars going on and bombs going off which is also not good for our environment. Harmful product are being made and used. There is just so many issues.

Clemet change is a LONG fix and it needs ALL countries to work towards it. You will likely NEVER see the change in your life time. and a lot of things CAN NOT be "Just stopped" farther more , on a good day the weather is unpredictable and changes all the time. The Hurricanes of today were caused by actions 20 or 30 or more years ago not by the current admiration. We should push to learn NEW technologies not ban technology. Green Technology needs a lot of work before its ready. In the mean time avoiding fires, floods, droughts snow and ice, means building smarter . Climent change is real and we should work to fixing it but we need to realize that every thing we use has a cost. Oil is more then just gasoline. Animals do more then just meat. Wood is in more then just tables. There is so much going on that you DON'T know. Too much to give up by choosing a quick solution that fixes nothing. Also the solar Pannels, the batteries, the windmill blades they all cost us some thing. Strip-mining mountains to nothing, tearing down forests , disrupting fish, If we are going to build things they need to cost less, be small, give more gain, make less waist just as we perfected the computer and the cell phone and the camera and the music player so too should we evolve our energy production. And we should consider things we have not tried yet. Geothermal, Asteroids, solar winds any number of other out of the box ideas. We can't "Just Stop" and we can't "Blame America" we need to fix things correctly not rushed and acknowledge That China and Japan and India and the Middle East and North Korea all have to work with the efforts or this work will be for nothing. And stop praising and encouraging vandalism, its wistful and it turns people off from your message. And if you do rally around some thing use facts not anger and misinformation consider the consequences, make realistic goals.
If you truly believe in the ideas you want others to do, walk the walk as well. Don't be a loud voice who doesn't practice what they preach. live the example you want others to follow.
