‘No Credible Pathway’ to Limit Warming to 1.5°C, Systemic Transformation Only Option to Avert Climate Collapse 27/10/2022 Stefan Anderson The existential project to save the planet set out by the 2016 Paris Agreement is in tatters. There is currently “no credible pathway” to limit increases in global temperatures to the 1.5°C degree target detailed in the accords, the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) said in its global emissions gap report released Thursday. The chance of […] Continue reading -> Countries’ Latest Climate Commitments Still Increase Global Emissions 10.6% by 2030 26/10/2022 Elaine Ruth Fletcher Countries’ voluntary commitments to fight climate change will still mean an increase in global emissions by some 10.6% as of 2030, according to the latest report of UN Climate Change, which tabulates the most recent ‘Nationally Determined Commitments (NDCs) of countries to the climate battle. This represents only a slight “improvement” over the commitments as […] Continue reading -> China Dishes Out First Aerosol COVID-19 Boosters Amid New Wuhan Lockdown 26/10/2022 Kerry Cullinan China administered the world’s first oral aerosol COVID-19 vaccine boosters in Shanghai on Wednesday, as new lockdown measures were imposed on Wuhan, the supposed birthplace of the pandemic.
