Ja, det är illa:Glöm 1,5-gradersmålet. Det är kört! Glöm 2,0-gradersmålet. Det är också kört!
Vilket är nästa mål som vi ska missa?
«The world’s major fossil fuel producers are set to bust global environmental goals with excessive coal, oil and gas extraction in the next decade, the United Nations and research groups said on Wednesday in the latest warning over climate crisis.»https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climate-change-accord-fossilfuels/fossil-fuel-polluters-from-u-s-to-china-far-off-climate-targets-un-idUSKBN1XU0FP
«But by 2030, the 10 countries’ planned production would lead to 39 gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon dioxide emissions, 53% higher than what is needed to reduce temperature rises to 2°C and 21 Gt, or 120%, more than is needed for 1.5°C, the report said.»

China ramps up coal power in face of emissions efforts
China is set to add new coal-fired power plants equivalent to the EU’s entire capacity, as the world’s biggest energy consumer ignores global pressure to rein in carbon emissions in its bid to boost a slowing economy, reported the Financial Times.https://chinaeconomicreview.com/china-ramps-up-coal-power-in-face-of-emissions-efforts/
Across the country, 148GW of coal-fired plants are either being built or are about to begin construction, according to a report from Global Energy Monitor, a non-profit group that monitors coal stations. The current capacity of the entire EU coal fleet is 149GW.
While the rest of the world has been largely reducing coal-powered capacity over the past two years, China is building so much coal power that it more than offsets the decline elsewhere.
Ted Nace, head of Global Energy Monitor, said the new coal plants would have a significant impact on China’s already-increasing carbon emissions. “What is being built in China is single-handedly turning what would be the beginning of the decline of coal, into the continued growth of coal,” he said, adding that China was “swamping” global progress in bringing down emissions.
How dare they!!!

Nu måste vi verkligen sänka våra utsläpp till noll för att kompensera. Höj bensin-/dieselskatten, plastpåsskatt nu, fler vindsnurror. Ja, förbjud allt!
Vi ses nog som ett skräckexempel på ett flertal områden av andra länder.
