Carbon
Early estimates suggest that global carbon emissions will drop in 2020 by between 5.5% (according to Carbon Brief) and 8% (according to the International Energy Agency), compared to 2019. Before we begin celebrating, think about the disruption we have experienced. We would need this level of reduction (7.6%) every year this decade to stay within 1.5C warming. The message is clear: carbon is still deeply embedded in our economy and our modern lifestyles, and reduced consumption is unlikely to secure a climate safe future. We need radical innovation, supported by a carbon tax and strong government policies on clean tech.
