Callendar’s 1938 paper “The artificial production of carbon dioxide and its influence on temperature” ( Q. 139 1961 ).

ENSO is so influential that climate scientists have dedicated decades to tracking and predicting its irregular cycles. Researchers are also studying how ENSO will be affected by climate change. In the most fossil fuel-intensive scenario, carbon dioxide emissions more than double by 2099.

There are an increasing number of companies and countries that are pledging to reach Net Zero carbon emissions–or carbon neutrality–by 2050. That was the timeline laid down by the most prestigious body of climate scientists for limiting warming to 1.5 degrees , the “safe” threshold for global warming.

However, in an effort to offer some positives, the IPCC , which represents the world’s best climate scientists, said we have seen evidence of accelerating action against climate change. They pointed to the fact that since 2010 the cost of solar, wind and battery technology has decreased by up to 85%.

We define the Integrity Gap broadly, to include issues of transparency, as well substantive reliance on carbon dioxide removal ( CDR ) (e.g., One key integrity concern focuses on the lack of transparency and specificity about governments’ proposed reliance on CDR technologies to get to net zero emissions (and beyond).

With our children already paying a terrible price for climate change, we must act to protect their future, urges an IPCC scientist. When heatwaves disrupt our children’s education, it is time to demand climate action. I am writing this as a climate scientist and a mother of two young children.
