The amount of slot global thermal gas emissions in 2020 dropped 5.4% as the pandemic forced countries to need to lock down But a scientific report by the Global Carbon Project forecasts a 4.9 percent increase in CO2 emissions this year.
It shows that the window is closing due to our ability to limit the temperature rise to the critical threshold of 1.5C.This increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted into the atmosphere underscores the urgency of action at peaks such as COP26 in Glasgow, the scientists said.
At this week's meeting There are important agreements on methane emission limits and deforestation controls.Yet coal and gas emissions are expected to increase in 2021 more than they declined last year. Although the carbon emissions from the use of oil will remain below 2019 levels.
Dr Glen Peters, from the Center for International Climate Research (Cicero) in Oslo, Norway, said: "What many of us are thinking about in 2020, including me, It's a resurgence that has spread over the last few years. compared to recovery The big hitch in 2021
That's what surprised me - it happened so quickly. There are also concerns that there is still some recovery going on.This rapid resurgence in emissions conflicts with the ambitious CO2 cuts needed to limit global temperature rise to 1.5C.
