Emissions from burning fossil fuels are projected to grow by 0.6 per cent this year to reach almost 37 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2). This is down from 1.5 per cent in 2017 and 2.1 per cent in 2018.
The United Kingdom will see heavier rainfall according to a new research by led by Dr Markus Rau and Dr Yi He of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia.
Climate Scientist and ex-Director of the Tyndall Centre Professor Corinne Le Queré together with Philosopher Professor Rupert Read, a founder of the Greenhouse Think Tank and more recently Extinction Rebellion spokesperson, both of UEA, discussed with a University and public audience when Net Zero should be achieved.
These kinds of “climate solutions” fail to recognise that the cost of burdening individuals to solve climate change is further marginalising those already in the margins when, as we all know, what we need to talk about are emissions from the dirty industries like fossil fuel and cement, as well as emissions from countries.
The term “climate emergency” may not be as effective protesters think, say members of a climate attentive public who joined with Tyndall Centre’s researchers for round table discussions.
