Paris (AFP) – Rich countries must end their oil and gas production by 2034 to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius and give poorer nations time to replace fossil fuel income, according to a report released Tuesday.
The 70-page analysis from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research comes as nearly 200 nations kicks off a two-week negotiation to validate a landmark assessment of options for reducing carbon pollution and extracting CO2 from the air.
The overarching objective, enshrined in the 2015 Paris Agreement, is to cap global warming "well below" 2C, and 1.5C if possible.
A torrent of research since 2015, along with a crescendo of deadly extreme weather across the globe, has confirmed that the lower aspirational target is by far a safer threshold.
Countries such as South Sudan, the Republic of Congo and Gabon have little economic revenue apart from oil and gas production.
By contrast, wealthy nations that are major producers would remain rich even if fossil fuel income were removed.
There are 88 countries in the world that produce oil and gas.
"We calculated emissions phase-out dates for all of them consistent with the Paris Agreement temperature goals," Anderson said.
"We found that wealthy countries need to be at zero oil and gas production by 2034."

Tell that to China, Russia, and India. Until they do it .... yawn
Screw that.
Global warming, climate change, weather, no matter what you call it it is not proven except by political science and opinion. Government over reach, corruption and abuse of power is easily proved.
I'm good with that. Given that the United States is so deeply in debt, more so than any other nation in total debt, it cannot be considered "rich," so we can be last.
Anthropogenic climate change denier waiting to be cancelled.
The simple answer to all of this is that we must demand from our politicians a demonstration of feasibility of any replacement energy system before we embark on these multi-trillion fantasy building projects.

We MUST expose this “Global Warming” HOAX before its used to ENSLAVE US ALL!
Yeah but its our moral duty to lead the world in this essential life saving action. We will shame China and India into compliance... I think.
Dear AGW Climate Wonks: find some rope and hang yourselves from the nearest tree branch you putrid sacks of crap.
Or jump out of high buildings or cliffs.
Or go swimming with concrete waders.
Or whatever.
Thanks.
Without viable energy/ transportation options for people, this is nothing but a massive power grab that relegates people to the mercy of the elites. They have already proven they have no concern for us, let alone inclined to mercy. The line must be drawn here and no further, or millions upon millions will die.
unilateral disarmament
remember those nutjobs?
they’re back!
How about No?
How does No sound to you?
These idiots think Oil only makes Fuel ,LOL
“by 2034”
Nah, Greta Thunberg said we would already all be dead by then, so there’s no point.
Tell ya what. If everyone clamoring to give up oil actuslly committed and gives it up for good themselves, th3. The rest of us will THINK about it for 10,seconds or so, but really we will be too busy laughing at the dolls who are freezing and can’t use anything made with petroleum products, and have to walk to work and who,won’t be allowed to buy food because food is trucked or sent via rail or flown into areas.
When the greens who whine about fossil fuels completely cut themselves off from fossil fuels altogether, then they can preach- until,then the hypocrites can zip their lips we don’t wanna hear from the hypocrites!
It is all part of a one world govenrment power grab. Control the fuel, control the people. Electric gives the gov much more control over the people
Bizarre.
Suicide pack by zealots who think they will get rich by destroying the prosperity of Americans.
