World leaders are heading into the final days of COP30, the United Nations climate meeting in Brazil. They are trying to agree on how to curb global warming and pay for the costs of an increasingly hotter planet.
For the past eight years, one of the primary objectives of the annual negotiations has been to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to the temperatures in the late 1800s. That temperature goal was established after a landmark international scientific report laid out the catastrophic effects of exceeding that amount of warming.
But that goal is no longer plausible, scientists say. Humanity has not cut planet-warming pollution quickly enough, and the planet will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming, likely in the next decade, according to a recent United Nations report.
However, all is not lost. If countries can cut overall greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2035, scientists say the planet would quickly return to lower levels of warming.
"We must move much, much faster on both reductions of emissions and strengthening resilience," U.N. climate chief Simon Stiell told world leaders at COP30. Right now, countries are pursuing policies that would cut emissions by just 12% by 2035.
"The science is clear: We can and must bring temperatures back down to 1.5 [degrees Celsius] after any temporary overshoot," Stiell said.

True. Newsom has been strutting about like the American hero, bad-mouthing Trump and seeking accolades among the gathered cult members.
And foolishly I thought the left gave up this hoax.
A Beagle and 2 cats live together at my house. I blame Climate Change on them! ;)
Yada yada yada, wrong wrong wrong. What is up with these ppl? Brain damage.
“Global warming” wann’t doing well in focus group testing, so the communist radicals changed it to “climate change” ... but the only change these fools squeal about remains “warming.”
I might wish that to be one of the three massive changes I’ll see as the climate changes occur. One of the others I’d like to see would be liberals standing there with egg all over their faces.
We’ll see more wealthy people, such as the Obamas, buying oceanfront property.
so they use one of the little ice ages as the benchmark for warming.
from wiki:
The NASA Earth Observatory notes three particularly cold intervals. One began about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, all of which were separated by intervals of slight warming.[7] The
It’s probably going to be colder and darker for several months then start getting warmer and lighter again.
Doggie and kitty lovin’ always makes me smile!
I’m going to plant palm trees next to my cabin in Northern Minnesota and spend the winter fishing in tropical like temperatures.
Not one fact in the entire article. “Could”, “”might”, “maybe”. No graphs, no nothing. But move back to caves and we’ll be alright. Don’t worry though as I’ve turned off my desk lamp. Doing my part. ;-)

Then the attendees will be driven on a new 12 mile road that was cut thru the rainforest.
What a freak show!
