Carbon dioxide levels town and we need to actually try to get it below two degree. we talked about 1.5 global average warning, that sounds meaningless to people. but now we are hitting up to 2.8 based on where the emissions are going. 2 degrees was the limit for paris. beyond that, things like the ice sheet may fall into the ocean, sea ice may disappear during the summer. these are important parts of climate system. we need to get those emissions down. the changes we have seen now, with a third ...

Gas to the uk to avoid blackouts. do you want to kick us off this time with the story with the striking graphic showing the gap opening up, quite hard to see on the picture we put on the screen, effectively showing the gap between the target of 1.5 degrees increases in temperature since 1900 and the actual projection of where we are if we continue on the course, a projection of 2.8 degrees. this is the difficulty with this subject we appear to be, the difficulty with this subject we appearto be,...

Pataki. but what is so interesting about this race, a year ago, think of a state you know well, new jersey, right, phil murphy, jack, 7.8% gap between the two so the democrat phil murphy actually 2.8%. and jack nearly pulled off a victory there. >> steve: dont trust the polls. >> dont trust the polls because under estimate the senate by five points and senate six points. it has been both parties underestimate about 16-20, republicans were an estimated. >> steve: is that nefarious? >> i dont thin...

Disappointing. the un was very upset and published, they call it an emissions gap report, looking at the direction of travel of the world, given the commitments that governments had made. and they said were on track for 2.7 to 2.8 degrees of warming, which they say will be disastrous. they also said its now impossible to reach, you remember that 1.5 target that we talked about, avoiding the worst effects of climate change? they said that would be impossible to meet without a really substantial k...

To 1.5 degrees was just about still possible — anything above that level is the route to disaster. but the vows made then look shaky. if anything, the situation has got worse. labours ed miliband will be heading to this years summit in egypt later this week, and hes here now. great to have you here. the aim of last years cop in glasgow was to keep warming to 1.5 degrees. has the chance to do that slipped out of our reach? we chance to do that slipped out of our reach? ~ ., ., , chance to do th...

Path to at least a four degree celsius warmer world by thecent. and the consequences of that much warming that fast are almost unimaginable, both for human civilization, as well as many of the other living things that share this planet with us. 30% of the worlds species would go extinct and we would not be able to function, our water, food, agriculture system with that much change in many places and the world. so today, we are still heading for 2.8, and that is still too high, but sit a lot less...

We already see transitions in place like the state of texas where i live, where over a third of our electricity so far this year has been coming from clean energy. but theres no one thing thats done it. rather, every country is doing something different. so norway leads the world in electric vehicle adoption. and they have a target of cutting their emissions 55%. the eu has a repower eu plan, where theyre increasing the share of renewables this their power grid. chile just passed an energy effic...
