All nations of the world had homework this year: submit new-and-improved plans to fight climate change. But the plans they handed in “have barely moved the needle” on reducing Earth’s future warming, a new United Nations report finds.
And a good chunk of that progress is counteracted by the United States’ withdrawal from the effort, the report adds.
The newest climate-fighting plans — mandated every five years by the 2015 Paris Agreement — shaves about three-tenths of a degree Celsius (nearly six-tenths of a degree Fahrenheit) off a warming future compared with the projections a year ago.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s policies, which range from rolling back environmental regulations to hindering green energy projects, will add back a tenth of a degree of warming, the U.N. Environment Program’s Emissions Gap report said Tuesday.
“Every tenth of a degree has ramifications on communities, on ecosystems around the world. It is particularly important for those vulnerable communities and ecosystems that are already being impacted,″ said Adelle Thomas, vice chair of a separate U.N. scientific panel that calculates climate impacts.
Now the U.N. is calculating that the rest of world must cut an additional 2 billion tons a year of carbon dioxide to make up for what the report projects is growing American carbon pollution. Last year, the world pumped 57.7 billion tons of greenhouse gases into the air and needs to get down to about 33 billion tons a year to have a chance of limiting warming to near the goal, the report said.
Climate Analytics CEO Bill Hare, who helps run a separate emissions and temperature projecting report called Climate Action Tracker, said that his calculations show the same as the report.
The numbers indicate “a lack of political will,” he said.

These UN climate fraudsters need to be booted out of the US.
Enough is enough.
Translation: “Give us more money.”
Prove it is warming the earth.
Did they punish China, India and Middle East S*holes for all their pollution? Exempting those countries from climate goals invalidates any climate argument.
Dear u.n. 🖕
That's the beauty of this climate hoax.
Yawn.
Just farted in their general direction. One one-hundredth of a degree.
EU, European Union. Please just go a head and die off in your allotted time by your UN models, we; the rest of world will continue as we are.
Thanks
“fall short” is language that says “we must have the US monies”.
