Many recent scientific reports—including from the IPCC , UNEP and the IEA —show that we are fast running out of time to make the steep cuts in heat-trapping emissions that would keep the Paris Agreement temperature targets within reach. Yet global fossil fuel production and use continue to expand. There are no escape hatches.
