Research with climate models in recent years shows that when carbon dioxide emissions stop, the rise in atmospheric temperatures will likely also stop. The oceans absorb much of the carbon dioxide lingering in the atmosphere, which contributes to ocean acidification. 2C above the preindustrial average.

As I show below, their cumulative emissions have continued to rise over the decades even as international efforts to confront climate change have been enacted through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. I’ve marked these important years with dotted lines in Figure 2.

China’s coal consumption declined over three consecutive years (2013 to 2016), and a continued slow decline is expected.

The applicants sought an injunction declaring that Shell is legally bound to reduce its carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 45% below 2019 levels by 2030. Shell is well on track to meet its own (rather ambitious) targets for reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% below 2016 levels by 2030. Royal Dutch Shell.
