That report, in the technical language of probabilities and scenarios, underscored the urgency of the moment and the need not only to reduce the release of heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere and limit global warming to 1.5 In the Paris agreement rich countries said they would contribute $100 billion annually.

In June 1979, atmospheric carbon stood at 339ppm, just below the 350ppm level scientists believe to be safe. In 2010, just months before I turned 31, British oil giant BP came under heavy scrutiny as one of its drilling operations was the cause of the world’s worst-ever oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. . billion tonnes of CO2.

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.

The greenhouse effect is a popular name for the earth’s warming effect which occurs naturally when gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping back into space. The rate of emissions growth year on year slowed between 2010-2019 in comparison to the previous decade. We Need to Act Now!

It crashed the 10 GW barrier in 2010. So, if our answers to climate change and air pollution are growing, with even global coal consumption peaking, why is there still more and more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere? However, we are barely reaching a third of the necessary carbon cuts to make the Paris Agreements a success.

The UN NDC Synthesis Report , which finds that if countries implement their current emission reduction pledges, or nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, global emissions will increase approximately 8.8% above 2010 levels, instead of the sharp downward trajectory we need.

Student in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University Most people remember the water cycle they learned in school: water evaporates from lakes, rivers, and the ocean, air carrying this moisture rises, cools, condenses, and forms clouds, and these clouds precipitate water back down to the surface.
