Global temperature rise is now 1.1C above pre-industrial times, if nations stick to current Nationally Defined Contribution plans, which they have not been doing yet, we would be on track to a 2.9-3.4C rise above pre-industrial times by 2100.
A 3.4C rise would be extremely catastrophic with far more extreme weather events as well as generally greater heat and desertification, melted ice, and sea level rise. And by current actions we are far exceeding even that. At 6C it's like a different planet, after enormous loss of species as well.
1) Plans need to be at least 3 times more ambitious.
2) New targets need to be met, not just promised.
Fossil fuel usage is on track to increase rather than decrease by 2030.
Instead, we need to nearly eliminate it by then.
US is one of the biggest dinosaurs, and with little forward planning.
Green New Deal to the max !!!
