India is putting Canada’s climate change plan to shame – Macleans.ca
India is likely to be feted as the global leader on climate change at the United Nations Climate Action Summit
in New York on Monday. India is one of a small handful of countries
whose policies are compatible with keeping global warming below two
degrees Celsius according to the Climate Action Tracker (CAT), an independent science-based analysis of the CO2 emission commitments and actions of countries.
in New York on Monday. India is one of a small handful of countries
whose policies are compatible with keeping global warming below two
degrees Celsius according to the Climate Action Tracker (CAT), an independent science-based analysis of the CO2 emission commitments and actions of countries.
Overall, countries are failing miserably to meet the Paris climate
target of 1.5 degrees C. Without new efforts to cut emissions, the
planet will “likely to lead to a breaching of the 1.5 degree warming
limit by 2035, two degrees by 2053 and a total warming of 3.2 degrees by
the end of the century,” warned CAT in a special update
released this past Thursday. If current policies aren’t improved, the
CAT update said, there’s a 25 per cent chance of exceeding four degrees,
a level widely considered catastrophic.
“We are not just a little bit off track, we are way off track,” said
Niklas Höhne, partner at NewClimate Institute, a CAT partner.

That
should make it harder for leaders to be cynical and obstructionist,
“when there are young people saying, ‘guys our lives are on the line,’”
McKibben says.
“Older
people are at their best when they are thinking about the generations
that come after them, when they are actually, really worrying about
their children and their grandchildren.”
