However, several analyses—including a recent one by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS)—have concluded that the IRA, even when coupled with the bipartisan infrastructure act and other federal and state climate policies, will not be enough to meet US carbon emission reduction goals. Their report, however, comes with a warning.

Jakarta is consistently near the top end of the world’s cities with the worst air pollution. Carbon emissions from land use change (mostly logging) are comparable to Brazil’s, though Brazil gets a lot more publicity. Indonesia’s 2021 climate pledge under the Paris Agreement was to reduce emissions from 2020-2030 by 29%.

All in all, these are good news and I am happy that some countries see the benefits of fighting global climate change and local air pollution. China’s coal consumption declined over three consecutive years (2013 to 2016), and a continued slow decline is expected. Rest asured that I will keep you all updated on that.

The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that all scenarios to meet the Paris Agreement ’s targets for holding planetary temperatures under 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit from pre-industrial levels require “rapid and deep and, in most cases, immediate greenhouse gas emissions reductions in all sectors this decade.”

Meanwhile, many forget that the flip side of local air pollution is global climate change. We have seen it many times over, pollution from our air, water and soil is killing nine million people every year. However, we are barely reaching a third of the necessary carbon cuts to make the Paris Agreements a success.

As I have spent some sleepless nights since the latest IPCC report on how Mankind has to halve its carbon emissions by 2030. As we shall see, this is already currently happening, it is the moral thing to do, the best economic choice, and the fastest and easiest way to halve our emissions. A strong economic business case.
