World on track for 2.4C warming despite 2030 pledges: Analysis

Al Jazeera  

The Climate Action Tracker research group says despite COP26 pledges, global warming would still surpass UN target cap of 1.5C. According to the Climate Action Tracker research group, promises by nations attending the COP26 conference to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 would still allow the Earth to heat up well beyond the United Nations target cap of 1.5C by 2100. “The pledges so far made at COP26 are quite inadequate and considering only those targets for 2030 would limit global warming to 2.4 degrees Celsius,” Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics, one of the organisations behind the CAT, told Al Jazeera. Some 90 percent of global emissions are now covered by a net-zero target – yet the “vast majority” of nations’ climate plans for the upcoming decade are inconsistent with long-term net-zero targets, CAT said.
