Global emissions to drop 12%* instead of by half in 2020-2030 period & only a quarter of nations are projecting (1)

–Seriously worrying climate data reported at UNFCCC.INT, many information gaps

Opinion by Mathew Carr

The reckless disregard for science by so-called leaders is staggering.

https://unfccc.int/documents/651012

Land will remove 1.841 billion tons of co2 in 2030, 6.9% less than in 2020 …so this is going in the wrong direction …the world should be boosting carbon sinks so they absorb MORE co2, not less …see notes * Rich-country energy emissions show some promise in that they are falling

Financial support awful as US President Trump pretends there is no problem …and other countries hide behind his bad leadership.

NOTES

*Projections are from only about one quarter of countries and exclude most of the crucial BRICS (South Africa is there)

Temperatures are now higher than at any time in the past 125,000 years
