A science-based move to climate change adaptation

Real Climate

It’s also urgent because the oceans act like a flywheel, making sure that cuts in emission of greenhouse gases will have a lagged effect on global warming. Climate change adaptation was addressed in the Paris Agreement from 2015, the Climate Adaptation Summit in January 2021 , and will be one of four key priorities during the upcoming COP26.

COP28: Sombre climate report indicates we are on track for 3 degrees C warming

A Greener Life

By Anders Lorenzen On the eve of the COP28 climate summit, scientists at the United Nations (UN) have warned that the world is on track for 3 degrees C of warming by the end of this decade. This is double the target that world leaders agreed to in 2015, when the Paris Agreement deal was struck and subsequently implemented.

A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

A friend asked me if a discussion paper published on Statistics Norway’s website, ‘ To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions? ’, was purposely timed for the next climate summit ( COP28 ). All this can be explained by physical processes and an enhanced greenhouse effect.

Here, we define the Ambition Gap as the difference between the emissions reductions expected from a government’s planned policies and pledges, and those required to meet the long-term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, in light of best available science. C temperature target within reach.

Several scientists, including authors of the IPCC report, told the Associated Press that the world is locked into exceeding the 1.5° degrees Celsius (2.7

The COP26 climate summit: what scientists hope it will achieve

Physics World

The promise from many nations is to reach net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050 (or earlier) and interim targets are essential. But the United Nations has just said that the latest commitments of the 192 parties of the 2015 Paris agreement will equate to a 16% rise in global greenhouse-gas emissions in 2030 compared to 2010.

Saudi Arabia echoes “Business as usual” as a key COP28 argument

A Greener Life

Climate scientists say the world needs to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. Only then is the world going to have any chance of meeting the 2015 Paris Agreement goal of keeping temperature increases well below 2 degrees C.
