It's completely understandable that the Emissions Gap media headlines focus on the bad news: if current policies continue we're looking at a catastrophic 3.1C warming. That means curtains for rainforests, coral, ice caps, unliveable conditions in tropics, superstorms etc. But...

...it's not the most likely outcome, not even close. Current policies won't continue. We're not going to be emitting today's CO2 levels in 2050, which is what drives the 3.1C outcome. As the IEA says, the clean energy transition is fully underway and likely unstoppable. So...

we need to look not at the top of this figure, but the bottom of it - conditional NDCs and all net zero pledges. Are we going to meet net zero? Maybe! So long as we ignore the naysayers trying to block renewables, grid upgrades, nuclear, EVs etc. Warming then is 1.9C not 3.1C.

And could be as low as 1.6 if we're lucky and smart. Yes 1.5C is out of the picture in any realistic scenario. But there is so much left to still fight for, and the fight is only just beginning. Deliver net zero in every country 2050-ish and we've still got a planet to enjoy!

Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. A third of children are stunted due to malnutrition. The ag minister declares that GMOs have "health risks" and everyone should eat organic. This is the damage that anti-science misinformation does. malawifreedomnetwork.com/2024/10/31/mal…
