*Climate change: UN warns key warming threshold slipping from sight*
By Matt McGrath - Environment correspondent
There is "no credible pathway" to keep the rise in global temperatures
below the key threshold of 1.5C, according to a bleak new UN assessment.
Scientists believe that going beyond 1.5C would see dangerous impacts
for people all over the world.
The report says that since COP26 last year, governments carbon cutting
plans have been "woefully inadequate".
Only an urgent transformation of society will avoid disaster, the study
says...

27 OCTOBER 2022 REPORT
*Emissions Gap Report 2022*
- -
The report finds that only an urgent system-wide transformation can
deliver the enormous cuts needed to limit greenhouse gas emissions by
2030: 45 per cent compared with projections based on policies currently
in place to get on track to 1.5°C and 30 per cent for 2°C. This report
provides an in-depth exploration of how to deliver this transformation,
looking at the required actions in the electricity supply, industry,
transport and buildings sectors, and the food and financial systems.

Climate crisis calls for rapid transformation of societies
The window is closing! The world is not on track to reach the Paris
Agreement goals and global temperatures can reach 2.8°C by the end of
the century.
The Emissions Gap Report 2022 finds that the world must cut emissions by
45 per cent to avoid global catastrophe. Solutions to transform
societies exist, but the time for collective, multilateral action is now...

*Every fraction of a degree matters*
Oct 27, 2022 As climate impacts intensify, the world is moving further
away from the Paris Agreement goals. Currently there is no credible
pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Even if countries meet their
climate commitments, emissions will only reduce by 10% by 2030.
We must do more.
To avoid a climate catastrophe. we must cut emissions by 45% by 2030.
Its time for an urgent, large-scale transformation in:
Electricity supply
Industry
Transport
Construction
Food systems
As costs of renewable energy fall, we must transition away from fossil
fuels.
Through subsidies and tax schemes, governments can support sustainable
agriculture.
Companies can cut food loss and waste and we can rethink our diets.
~US$6 trillion per year is required to finance the transition to a
low-carbon economy, just 2% of total financial assets globally.
Business as usual will result in 2.8°C warming by the end of the century.
Every fraction of a degree matters. The solutions are within our reach.

*An influential energy group sees reason for climate optimism*
October 28, 2022
Heard on All Things Considered
Camila Domonoske
Global demand for all types of fossil fuels will peak by the mid-2030s,
according to new projections from the International Energy Agency that
offer a rare glint of optimism about climate change.
In its annual World Energy Outlook released on Thursday, the IEA — a
highly influential energy group — said it expects that the world's
demand for oil, natural gas and other carbon-emitting fuels will start
to decline because of new policies that governments have put in place to
fight climate change. It also suggested that the energy crisis sparked
by the war in Ukraine will accelerate the switch to green energy.
Here's how far behind the world is on reining in climate change

Here's how far behind the world is on reining in climate change
The report did not show that the world is on track to stop global
warming. The gap between what's happening and what needs to happen
remains immense.
But the world is shifting — and it's shifting in the right direction,
the IEA said.
"Ten years from now, I believe we will see that 2022 was the year where
the clean energy technologies see a major turbocharging," executive
director Fatih Birol said Thursday.

'A dangerous illusion'
"Nobody I know in the oil business believes that," Bob McNally, the
founder of Rapidan Energy Group, said.
McNally dismissed the IEA's projection for future oil demand as
unrealistic. He isn't convinced governments will actually follow through
on their stated policies.
"The energy industry looks at this [IEA projection] and says, 'This is a
dangerous illusion,' " he said. "While it's perhaps a pleasing idea that
the world is going to see a peak in fossil fuel consumption in the next
five to 10 years ... there's no evidence for it."
The oil industry, by and large, no longer denies climate change is
happening. But major oil players are lobbying for a more gradual
transition away from fossil fuels. Transitioning quickly, in addition to
hurting their profits, could create price spikes, shortages and
geopolitical upheaval, they argue. Climate activists, meanwhile, note
that climate change too will cause major disruptions.

October 29, 2003: The New York Times reports:
"Motivated by environmental and economic concerns, states have become
the driving force in efforts to combat global warming even as mandatory
programs on the federal level have largely stalled."
*The Warming Is Global but the Legislating, in the U.S., Is All Local*
By Jennifer 8. Lee
Oct. 29, 2003
Motivated by environmental and economic concerns, states have become
the driving force in efforts to combat global warming even as
mandatory programs on the federal level have largely stalled.
At least half of the states are addressing global warming, whether
through legislation, lawsuits against the Bush administration or
programs initiated by governors.
In the last three years, state legislatures have passed at least 29
bills, usually with bipartisan support. The most contentious is
California's 2002 law to set strict limits for new cars on emissions
of carbon dioxide, the gas that scientists say has the greatest role
in global warming.
While few of the state laws will have as much impact as
California's, they are not merely symbolic. In addition to caps on
emissions of gases like carbon dioxide that can cause the atmosphere
to heat up like a greenhouse, they include registries to track such
emissions, efforts to diversify fuel sources and the use of crops to
capture carbon dioxide by taking it out of the atmosphere and into
the ground.
Aside from their practical effects, supporters say, these efforts
will put pressure on Congress and the administration to enact
federal legislation, if only to bring order to a patchwork of state
laws.
States are moving ahead in large part to fill the vacuum that has
been left by the federal government, said David Danner, the energy
adviser for Gov. Gary Locke of Washington.
''We hope to see the problem addressed at the federal level,'' Mr.
Danner said, ''but we're not waiting around.''
There are some initiatives in Congress, but for the moment even
their backers acknowledge that they are doomed, given strong
opposition from industry, the Bush administration -- which favors
voluntary controls -- and most Congressional Republicans.
This week, the Senate is scheduled to vote on a proposal to create a
national regulatory structure for carbon dioxide. This would be the
first vote for either house on a measure to restrict the gas.
The proposal's primary sponsors, Senator John McCain, Republican of
Arizona, and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, Democrat of Connecticut,
see it mainly as a way to force senators to take a position on the
issue, given the measure's slim prospects.
States are acting partly because of predictions that global warming
could damage local economies by harming agriculture, eroding
shorelines and hurting tourism.
''We're already seeing things which may be linked to global warming
here in the state,'' Mr. Danner said. ''We have low snowpack,
increased forest fire danger.''
Environmental groups and officials in state governments say that
energy initiatives are easier to move forward on the local level
because they span constituencies -- industrial and service sectors,
Democrat and Republican, urban and rural.
While the coal, oil and automobile industries have big lobbies in
Washington, the industry presence is diluted on the state level.
Environmental groups say this was crucial to winning a legislative
battle over automobile emissions in California, where the automobile
industry did not have a long history of large campaign donations and
instead had to rely on a six-month advertising campaign to make its
case.
Local businesses are also interested in policy decisions because of
concerns about long-term energy costs, said Christopher James,
director of air planning and standards for the Connecticut
Department of Environmental Protection. As a result, environmental
groups are shifting their efforts to focus outside Washington.
Five years ago the assumption was that the climate treaty known as
the Kyoto Protocol was the only effort in town, said Rhys Roth, the
executive director of Climate Solutions, which works on global
warming issues in the Pacific Northwest states. But since President
Bush rejected the Kyoto pact in 2001, local groups have been
emerging on the regional, state and municipal levels.
