World to warm by nearly 3°C without aggressive action

Countries’ current emissions pledges to limit climate change would still put the world on track to warm by nearly 3 degrees Celsius this century, according to a United Nations analysis released recently. The annual Emissions Gap report, which assesses countries’ promises to tackle climate change compared with what is needed, finds the world faces between

Making netzero emissions impossible with offsets

The idea that we can mitigate current carbon emissions by ‘offsetting’ them with carbon reduction initiatives elsewhere has become central to government and business responses to climate change. But it is an idea we need to seriously question. Essentially, the offsetting strategy assumes the release of carbon stored by ancient biology a hundred million years
