Here, we define the Ambition Gap as the difference between the emissions reductions expected from a government’s planned policies and pledges, and those required to meet the long-term temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, in light of best available science. The gap between countries’ 2030 targets and 1.5°C

degrees Fahrenheit) is no longer feasible, and emphasized that if we move faster, we can keep it as far below 2 degrees C as possible—the fallback target in the Paris Agreement. Several scientists, including authors of the IPCC report, told the Associated Press that the world is locked into exceeding the 1.5° degrees Celsius (2.7

Climate scientists say the world needs to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 43% by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. Only then is the world going to have any chance of meeting the 2015 Paris Agreement goal of keeping temperature increases well below 2 degrees C.

Through greenwashing ads, disinformation campaigns, attacks on scientists, and production of fake scientific evidence, the industry has engaged the playbook of deception to undermine climate action. But rising temperatures aren’t the only factor when we are thinking about climate impacts. What is standing in the way?

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.

Fossil fuels are the root cause of climate change, of long-standing environmental injustices, and are also frequently connected to geopolitical strife and violent conflicts. According to the IPCC, global emissions must be cut in half by 2030 to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, and IEA research shows it can be done.

Altering cloud properties influences Earth’s climate On sunny days, it’s clear that clouds leave shadows on the landscape. Climate scientists are interested in clouds for exactly this reason- clouds reflect sunlight, which has a cooling effect on surface temperatures. Cirrus clouds formed this way have many, small ice crystals.
