New reports from the United Nations suggest that our attempts at climate control are extremely off track. Here’s what we know.
For decades, we’ve been trying to slow global warming and control climate change. Unfortunately, none of those attempts appear to be paying off, as the UN says climate change control “falls miles short of what’s needed.”
UN Climate Change, the UN agency tasked with addressing global warming and climate change, released a new report this month. The agency carried out a complete analysis of global carbon-cutting plans submitted by almost 200 different countries.
According to this analysis, plans to control climate change are off track and will barely cut pollution by 2030. This means that efforts to keep global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius this century will be downright impossible.
