By the 2015 Paris Agreement, 196 parties agreed to combat climate change and work toward a sustainable, low-carbon future. Nations promised to pursue efforts “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.”
Almost 10 years later, that goal seems to be lost. A dangerous trend is proven.
Global average temperatures have now hit or exceeded a key climate threshold for 12 months, highlighting the challenge in limiting global warming to below 1.5C above the pre-industrial era.
The average for the year through June 2024 was 1.64C higher than the era from 1850 to 1900, the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service said in a report published Monday. Last month was the hottest ever June, the 13th consecutive time a month has set a new average temperature record.

British Columbia is doing its part to accelerate climate change.
Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions. As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun’s heat.

I believe we have crossed the Rubicon with climate change and now, the future is going to be chaotic.
What needed to be done, has not been done and except for politically correct palliatives, nothing has changed and nothing will change.
