2007 Fossil Fuels Paris Agreement 
Union of Concerned Scientists
NOVEMBER 16, 2023
Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, the United States voluntarily pledged to reduce its global warming emissions at least 50 percent below their 2005 levels by the end of this decade and reach net-zero emissions no later than 2050. It also will save US consumers money because they will spend less on fossil fuels.

The key word here is “ intensity :” Fossil fuel companies often focus on emissions intensity, meaning emissions per barrel of oil, rather than absolute emissions, which is a set number measured in metric tons. Heat-trapping emissions must be cut in half by 2030 to reach the Paris agreement goal of keeping global warming to 1.5

This is a pretty clear illustration of how sea level starts to rise slowly; but in the long run, sea-level rise caused by fossil-fuel burning and deforestation in our generation could literally go off the chart and inundate many coastal cities and wipe entire island nations off the map. But first things first.

As per the World Investment Report 2023, much of the growth in international investment in renewable energy, which has nearly tripled since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, was concentrated in developed countries. But the problem is that as of today, such instruments or institutions hardly exist.

In other words, the claim shows a lack of knowledge and is a well-known old argument that I commented on Realclimate.org in 2007. In other words, we are approaching the limits defined in the Paris Agreement, even if it is only a monthly measure, as opposed to a permanent increase. See for instance Benestad (2016).

The first explicit use of the term L&D was in the 2007 Bali Action Plan , in a section on enhanced action for adaptation. In the 2015 Paris Agreement , Article 8 acknowledged the importance of L&D and the accompanying decision 1/CP.21

The world has a five percent chance of limiting climate change to 2 C by the end of the century, thus staying in line with what agreed during the Paris Agreement. Systemic solution such as ending fossil fuels subsidies , taxing carbon and investing massively in sustainable infrastructures is required.
