<b>Climate change: UN warns key warming threshold slipping from
sight</b><br>
By Matt McGrath - Environment correspondent<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Scientists believe that going beyond 1.5C would see dangerous
impacts for people all over the world.<br>
<br>
The report says that since COP26 last year, governments carbon
cutting plans have been "woefully inadequate".<br>
<br>
Only an urgent transformation of society will avoid disaster, the
study says...<br>

<b>Emissions Gap Report 2022</b><br>
- -<br>
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. <br>

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. <br>

The Emissions Gap Report 2022 finds that the world must cut
emissions by 45 per cent to avoid global catastrophe. Solutions to

<b>Every fraction of a degree matters</b><br>
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.<br>
<br>
We must do more.<br>
<br>
To avoid a climate catastrophe. we must cut emissions by 45% by
2030.<br>
Its time for an urgent, large-scale transformation in:<br>
Electricity supply<br>
Industry <br>
Transport <br>
Construction<br>
Food systems<br>
<br>
As costs of renewable energy fall, we must transition away from
fossil fuels.<br>
<br>
Through subsidies and tax schemes, governments can support
sustainable agriculture.<br>
<br>
Companies can cut food loss and waste and we can rethink our diets.<br>
<br>
~US$6 trillion per year is required to finance the transition to a
low-carbon economy, just 2% of total financial assets globally. <br>
<br>
Business as usual will result in 2.8°C warming by the end of the
century.<br>
<br>
Every fraction of a degree matters. The solutions are within our
reach.<br>

<i>[ NPR tries to sell some optimism - text and audio - ]</i><br>
<b>An influential energy group sees reason for climate optimism</b><br>
October 28, 2022<br>
Heard on All Things Considered<br>
Camila Domonoske <br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Here's how far behind the world is on reining in climate change<br>
CLIMATE<br>
Here's how far behind the world is on reining in climate change<br>
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.<br>
<br>
But the world is shifting — and it's shifting in the right
direction, the IEA said.<br>
<br>
"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.<br>
- -<br>
'A dangerous illusion'<br>
"Nobody I know in the oil business believes that," Bob McNally, the
founder of Rapidan Energy Group, said.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
"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."<br>
<br>
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.<br>

"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."<br>
<blockquote><b>The Warming Is Global but the Legislating, in the
U.S., Is All Local</b><br>
<br>
By Jennifer 8. Lee<br>
Oct. 29, 2003<br>
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.<br>
<br>
At least half of the states are addressing global warming, whether
through legislation, lawsuits against the Bush administration or
programs initiated by governors.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
''We hope to see the problem addressed at the federal level,'' Mr.
Danner said, ''but we're not waiting around.''<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
States are acting partly because of predictions that global
warming could damage local economies by harming agriculture,
eroding shorelines and hurting tourism.<br>
<br>
''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.''<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
