3h

New reality: the 1.5 °C target is slipping out of reach. Glen P. Peters argues that while staying under 1.5 °C may become impossible, staying well below 2 °C remains within reach — and urgent, pragmatic policy action can still make a difference.

Is limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C still possible? - Glen P. Peters, 2024
It is always possible to find arguments to make 1.5°C forever possible, but they increasingly diverge from reality. It is time to admit that the world will cros...

Es incómodo para un científico recordar lo apremiante y grave de la crisis climática, la relativa inacción y los niveles de hipocresía que se gastan en materia climática y ambiental. Es motivante construir un Pacto de Estado por el clima.

La semana pasada los gobiernos europeos llegaron a un acuerdo de mínimos sobre medidas contra el cambio climático.
Hoy se ha votado en el Europarlamento, y la mayoría del PP europeo ha votado a favor de ese acuerdo.
¿Adivináis el PP de qué país/es ha/n votado en contra?

EU’s new 2040 climate deal: "It's a political compromise that at least keeps the 2050 target within reach,” PIK director Edenhofer says. “If the targets are constantly being watered down, that’s not a good idea, because then the 2050 target will not be achievable."

Given these odds it would be 𝙚𝙭𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙞𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 for local and national governments not to urgently act on adaptation plans to mitigate against the risks associated with crossing 2ºC

There is absolutely not a day to lose.

Also do you have a personal resilience plan?

Reality check via UNEP latest data:

A 25% reduction is needed for 2030 emissions to be aligned with 2°C
(Translation ~5.5% reduction required PER YEAR 2026-2030)

A 35% reduction is needed for 2035 emissions to be aligned with 2°C
(Translation ~4.2% reduction required PER YEAR 2026-2035)

The world is failing to meet the 2.0°C target of the Paris Agreement, let alone 1.5°C.

1.5°C was always nearly impossible, but did setting that goal help or hurt climate action?

📈 Climate policy is growing and getting stronger📈
New rules continue to be added at a fast pace. More importantly, our detailed assessment allows us to measure their quality. Ambition has risen significantly since 2020, and a bit less (but still some) since 2024.

For one, a "top-down legally binding treaty" is not on the agenda at #COP30 in Brazil. This idea died back in 2009, at the Copenhagen COP. In many ways, the 2015 Paris Agreement offers all the benefits that Helm seems to want out of "bottom-up" climate action. Why rehash these decades-old debates?
