OSLO - Global warming is on track to breach the toughest limit set in the Paris climate agreement by the middle of this century unless governments make unprecedented economic shifts from fossil fuels, a draft U.N. report said.
The draft, of a report due for publication in October, said governments will also have to start sucking carbon dioxide from the air to achieve the ambition of limiting temperatures to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times.
“There is very high risk that ... global warming will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels,” the U.N. panel of experts wrote, based on the current pace of warming and current national plans to limit their greenhouse gas emissions.
There were no historic precedents for the scale of changes required in energy use, to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energies, and in reforms ranging from agriculture to industry to stay below the 1.5C limit, it said.
The amounts could be bigger if governments let temperatures exceed 1.5C and found a way of turning down the global thermostat later in the century.

Very happy the USA is not part of this BS.
These Climate Nazis will indeed screw up the environment. Perhaps they should be imprisoned to protect Earth.
Exactly. F their glowbull warning garbage.
As always, its all about finding justifications for the government to completely screw with their citizens' lives.
”the U.N. panel of experts wrote...”
No need to read further.
Standard (and correct) response: Bullsh*t.
You and me both.
A nice, big, volcanic eruption would negate all of their efforts for a thousand years; unless, of course, their efforts are all just about money transfers and enrichment, power and control for the self selected global elites.
complete and utter bullshit
Between nature’s ravages and big government socialists, I’ll take my chances with nature’s ravages.
I’m sure companies are even now working on CO2 suckers with a business plan to suck up as much funding as possible from the government suckers before the futility of the concept is discovered.
It never stops. Maybe ignoring them isn’t enough, and we should start setting maximum efficiency rates for auto makers fleets. Tax rebates for big block engines over 5L, excise taxes on hybrids and electric vehicles.
why does EU flood their land and environment with people from places that have no respect for western cultural values regarding conservation?
also, packing people into a country can only tax resources.
yet the hypocrisy of the left. Don’t cut trees, don’t build or erode, oh and lets take in every critter under the sun and pack them tight in our cities and counties.
oooooook
Man is so vain.

Not just ‘should be’ — The ‘temperature of the earth’ is a calculated fiction anyway, especially when it’s being specified to a precision of tenths or hundredths of a degree.
The Midieval Warm Period was about a degree higher than today. Generally, life was easier and people more prosperous across the globe from about 1000 to 1250 AD.

Here is a project that is mapping the hundreds of studies around the globe that show the Medieval warm period as warmer than today.
