"You could barely believe that there is a climate crisis going on. In the same
week that climate scientists suggested the world will exhaust its remaining
carbon budget within two years, carbon bombs are being set off left, right and
centre, or allowed through regulatory hurdles on the promise of buying dodgy
offsets.
The climate news is grim, and the world seems to be sleepwalking towards
catastrophe. The carbon budget to keep average global warming at an average of
1.5°C is nearly exhausted, and will almost certainly be so by 2028.
Our trajectory, according to Climate Change Authority chair Matt Kean, has the
world on track for at least 2.8°C of warming. It’s likely to be more. And given
that Europe is already experiencing temperatures of 46°C – in June – and the
Mediterranean sea temperature is 5°C above average, one can only imagine with
dread what that might look like."
