Whether you look at absolute levels or per-capita carbon emissions, its fair to say that China needs to up its game if its going to make good on its claim to be heading towards a green transition.... of course, you may already be discounting such claims.

Interestingly while the US emissions remain broadly stable, due to a growing population their per capita rate is declining.

Not that any of this matter much at the oil-soaked COP29

#COP29 #climate #emissions

The UK 🇬🇧 will pledge to cut #emissions by 81% vs 1990 levels by 2035, a target in line with recommendations of the Climate Change Committee. Goal will be one of the 1st NDCs unveiled at #COP29 https://buff.ly/4fIJlLO

When the rich use private jets to pollute the world, why you might as should we mere mortals be concerned about our emissions?....

Well, of course, there are good reasons we should, but the notion that the rich & powerful might lead on the green agenda is made ever more implausible by such practices.

Over the past 65 years, the rate at which atmospheric CO₂ grew, increased from less than 1 ppm/year in the 1960s to 2.5 ppm in the 2010s.
Last year saw a record increase of 3.36 ppm.
So far this year, we're 3.54 ppm higher than last year...

Half of the world's 2,000 biggest listed companies have set a target to get to net-zero emissions by the middle of the century, but just a fraction meet tough United Nations guidelines for what constitutes a quality pledge, a report has shown. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/11/06/companies/un-climate-goals-companies/?utm_content=bufferb5d4a&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #companies #climatechange #emissions #environment
