Success at COP28 is likely to be measured by the inclusion of strong fossil fuel phaseout language, free from loopholes, in the final agreement. Global net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions 1990–2019. By 2019, the largest growth in absolute emissions occurred in carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and industry.

But in reality the proposed emission targets were achieved 11 years early in 2019—without the plan ever even taking effect. Research has shown that the country’s remaining coal plants are responsible for 3,800 premature deaths per year, based on 2019 data. Coal is the most destructive fossil fuel in terms of its climate impact.

A 2019 study ( Environ. 14 095001 ) found that professors at the University of Montreal in Canada had twice the annual carbon footprint of the average Canadian, with most of the difference linked to professional travel. But other scientists also fly a lot. Trips to academic conferences in particular are a huge part of the problem.

Methane is essential to control, since stabilizing climate requires reducing all anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions to net-zero. For example, methane stayed roughly flat for about a decade from the late 1990s, but has increased rapidly since then – by nearly 16 ppb in 2020 over 2019. There are several good reasons for this.
