Earth’s on Track to Warm Above 2C Despite Climate Action

from Bloomberg

Global temperatures will increase between 2.1 and 2.9C by the end of the century even if all climate promises are kept, according to a UN report

Government plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions aren’t enough to avoid catastrophic global warming, with the planet on track to heat up between 2.1 and 2.9 degrees Celsius by the end of the century compared to pre-industrial times, according to a new report from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Despite some progress in the last year, governments need to do more by 2030 to ensure that the global temperature increase is below 2C and ideally closer to 1.5C — the goal set in the Paris Accords.
