The International Energy Agency (IEA) has advised the oil and gas industry to move away from carbon capture as a solution to climate change. Climate modeling predicts a worst-case scenario of 4.3°C warming by 2100 due to current greenhouse gas emissions. The UN Environment Programme's report indicates that none of the G20 countries are reducing emissions fast enough to meet their net-zero targets. The world is still far from achieving its climate goals, with rich countries failing to reduce emissions and poor countries struggling to prevent further emissions growth. The oil and gas sector needs a rapid and substantial overhaul to avoid worsening extreme weather events fueled by human-caused climate change.
Canada is expected to miss its emissions-reduction target for 2030 by 27%, America by 19%, Britain by 11% and the EU by 9%, our chart shows. Learn why the world is still failing to come close to its climate goals: https://t.co/LRLqeqkzYR 👇
The UN’s latest “Emissions Gap” report highlights the “failure to stringently reduce emissions” in rich countries and to “prevent further emissions growth” in poor ones. The numbers—mostly—bear out this gloomy assessment https://t.co/i7nVK4tyau 👇
The oil and gas sector, one of the major emitters of planet-warming gases, will need a rapid and substantial overhaul for the world to avoid even worse extreme weather events fueled by human-caused climate change, according to a recent report. https://t.co/FmGHUyVyD7
The cost of inaction 🛑 Nations signed the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in 1992. If world leaders had started curbing emissions then, they would have had nearly a century to eliminate carbon emissions and keep warming below 1.5 °C. https://t.co/11mX4vhZR9
The world is still failing to come close to its climate goals. Progress has been made—but our chart shows that it is not nearly enough https://t.co/vpN2TTtOMc 👇
None of the G20 countries is reducing emissions fast enough to hit its net-zero target, the “emissions gap”, report by the UN Environment Programme points out. But removing carbon dioxide that is already in the atmosphere also demands attention https://t.co/IKP95XlWEM 👇
"Climate modeling based upon Earth's current greenhouse gas emissions trajectory predicts a worst-case scenario of 4.3°C warming of the planet by 2100." We've had a little over 1°C of heating so far, and look at the disasters. https://t.co/HpyM4F44mt
