Az ENSZ nemrégiben megrendezett glasgow-i klíma-csúcstalálkozóját előzetesen úgy harangozták be, mint amely az „utolsó esély” a „klímakatasztrófa” leküzdésére és az „emberiség megmentésére”. Sokakhoz hasonlóan John Kerry amerikai klímanagykövet pedig arra figyelmeztetett, hogy már csak kilenc évünk maradt arra, hogy elkerüljük a „katasztrofális” globális felmelegedés legsúlyosabb hatásait.

Com’era prevedibile, la recente conferenza Onu sul clima a Glasgow è stata bollata come la nostra «ultima chance» per contrastare la «catastrofe climatica» e «salvare l’umanità». Come molti altri, l’inviato degli Stati Uniti per il clima John Kerry ci ha avvertito che abbiamo soltanto nove anni ancora per evitare gran parte del «catastrofico» riscaldamento globale.

The recent UN climate summit in Glasgow was predictably branded our “last chance” to tackle the “climate catastrophe” and “save humanity.” Like many others, US climate envoy John Kerry warned us that we have only nine years left to avert most of “catastrophic” global warming.

The outcome of the UN Climate Summit in Glasgow (COP26) has been criticised by commentators as unambitious, with some calling it a “monumental failure”. Even the summit’s host, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, admitted the deal was “tinged with disappointment”. This is hardly sur­prising: historically, most climate promises have fared badly.

El resultado de la Cumbre del Clima de la ONU en Glasgow (COP26) ha sido criticado por los comentaristas como poco ambicioso y algunos lo califican de “fracaso monumental”. Incluso el anfitrión de la cumbre, el primer ministro británico, Boris Johnson, admitió que el acuerdo estaba “teñido de decepción”. No es de extrañar: históricamente, la mayoría de las promesas sobre el clima han salido mal.

Ledere bør fokusere på innovation, der kan gøre grøn energi billigere. Mens politikerne ofte hævder, at grøn energi allerede er billigere, modsiges de af virkeligheden – hvis den var billigere, ville det ikke være nødvendigt at købslå i årevis med hundredvis af lande for at få dem til modstræbende at love at blive grønnere, skriver Bjørn Lomborg.

Trying to showcase climate leadership at the U.N. Climate Summit in Glasgow, President Joe Biden is reaffirming his goal of creating “a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035 and net-zero emissions economy by no later than 2050.” But that target will be prohibitively expensive. A new Nature study shows that a 95 percent reduction by 2050 — almost within reach of Biden’s net-zero — would cost 11.9 percent of GDP or more than $11,000 for each American every year.
