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.

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.

It turns out, for example, that climate-change researchers fly more frequently than scientists in other fields. Change 65 102184 ), climate scientists jet off two to three times a year on average, whereas other researchers get on planes just twice during that time. But other scientists also fly a lot.
