While there is enormous potential for UN climate negotiations to transform climate action, meaningful progress has been delayed in part by the fossil fuel industry’s deceptive tactics. Last year’s COP was notable as the first to explicitly mention “fossil fuels” in the final decision document.

degrees C target that world leaders agreed upon in the Paris Agreement of 2015. The organisation labelled it as a ‘deafening cacophony’ of broken climate records. Scientists worry that 2024 could be even worse, as the El Nino climate impact is likely to peak this winter and drive temperatures even higher.

Delaying tactics Amin Nasser laid out the case, that he believes carbon capture and storage (CCS), and improving the efficiency of fossil fuel production, should be the priority in reducing emissions. Climate scientists say the world needs to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels.

In the 1960s climate change was not really a significant concern, not even amongst environmentalists – this was despite the fact that the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius in 1896 was the first to claim that emissions from fossil fuels might eventually result in enhanced global warming.

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. While most climate scientists are not directly involved in high-level negotiations, their work is essential to the process.

The most important problem with the sun-climate explanation is that there has been no long-term change in either solar activity or cosmic radiation over the last hundred years that can explain the global warming we are now seeing. It’s urgent to fix our climate problem In August, the global mean temperature was close to 1.5°C

In 2015, then again in 2020, the number of burned acres from wildfires crossed the 10 million-acre mark. It makes them ripe for disproportional impacts from climate change, relative to the nation in general. On this morning, the view was obscured by a golden dust bowl as smoke settled in the valley.
