If. COP25, the 25th year, was a farce of self-interest from fossil producers. Australia found a way to fiddle their historic figures to claim they need take no action! No one's listening to the IPCC, except those not running countries (except maybe some of the smaller, poorer ones).
- merpnderp 7y agoIf you would like to read some actual peer reviewed science, you can view the IPCC 2018 special report which covers the possible outcomes of a near zero CO2 production scenario. If you're going to dispute the qualifications of the IPCC, it would help to show something peer reviewed by people in the field.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoThe IPCC recommendations are fine -- where do I dispute them? I don't. Did the double negative throw you? I point out no government is taking notice of them. Can you name one government that is responding to the IPCC recommendations appropriately? As seen at the UN COP25 climate summit in December, substantive action appears no closer than decades ago. If they were taking note of IPCC reports, we might have had a far more inspiring result. The EU are nearest to meeting IPCC recommendations, and have taken some worthwhile steps forward, but so far not nearly enough, though they committed to net zero by 2050 shortly after the failed COP25. Most of the rest of the world is doing nothing, or worse. Don't forget emissions are still rising, coal and gas plants still being built, and new oil fields explored. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/dec/15/cop25-un-climate-talks-over-for-another-year-was-anything-achieved https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/dec/15/cop25-un-cli...
