World is woefully short of 2 degree goal for climate change, according to UN report
CNN ^ | November 27, 2018 | By Brandon Miller (D-CNN) Meteorologist

If there is one consistent message about climate change that has been made abundantly clear in a flurry of recent major assessments on the topic, it is that our planet's climate is already changing, and now is the time to act to avoid devastating impacts.

According to a United Nations report released Tuesday, however, projected emissions of carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas, from nations around the world fall woefully short of the 2 degree Celsius goal set in the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015.

In fact, the report states that the current emission targets for all countries would result in an average global temperature rise of 3.2 degrees Celsius (5.8 degrees Fahrenheit) by 2100.

A 3.2 degree warmer world by the end of this century would bring about many of the dire consequences for human health, global economies and sea level rise that are projected from the "higher-emission" scenarios (also known as worst-case scenarios).

The report will be a key talking point as key environmental figures convene in Poland next week as part of COP24, where the stated goal is to adopt a plan to execute the Paris Agreement, affecting climate and energy policy for the coming years.

The United States is the only country not in the Paris Climate Agreement after President Trump pulled the country out of the pact in 2017, claiming it placed "draconian" financial burdens on the American people.

I thought the US already surpassed their CO2 demands even without being part of the global redistribution scheme

But since the other countries in the world didn’t do it, we must be punished anyway

Assuming they are even remotely right (a very big assumption), are they really expecting there to be zero-point-zero technological advances “by the end of this century”, advances of a scope and scale that will make this temperature rise (assuming there is such a rise, a very big assumption) a problem we can’t handle.

What do they think a billion engineers in the next 80 years are going to do, sit around like potted plants?

There is definitely a Goebbels-like push going on right now. The series “Mars” on NatGeo was absolutely unwatchable last night, as they were in full court press on Globull warming. I predict the House will bring impeachment charges on Trump for killing the planet. I’m not kidding. Of course they don’t have the votes in the Senate, but they’ll get the circus they seek.

Correct. The idea was not to achieve any improvement but to transfer wealth from the U.S. to every non-productive sink-hole on the planet.

From February of 2016 to February of 2018 global temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Centigrade.

Hardly a long-term indicator but everything’s moving against them

There was a post here sometime during the last week detailing that

I can’t even watch the Food Network. Diners drive-ins and dives was talking about how we all need to lower our carbon footprint.

This latest push in the “global climate change” hysteria is timed to cover Jerry Brown’s miserable ass over the California wildfires.

“3.2 degree warmer world”
This is my problem with “Global Warming”
The world is a big place and has high and low temperatures all over every day. A thermometer can show a low temperature if it has slow moving cloud casting shade for a long period. Or a thermometer can show high temps if an internal combustion engine is parked next it and running for a long period. What is the method for averaging the earth’s “temperature”? And more importantly what is the correct earth temperature?

They will all be cold and shivering and hoping for rising
temps by 2100.

Under the huge assumption that their non-warming target is actually linked to emissions

So why isn’t the UN and the rest of these climate pirates relentlessly and ruthlessly attacking China???

It is not 2 degrees warmer, celsius or otherwise. Global warming is a superstition.
