Back at the historic football match took place just after the border opened fans from the east of the city were able to travel to the west for the 1st time in decades. Im sure the program. Chinese president xi jinping and his french counterpart emmanuel macro have issued a joint statement referring their support for the Paris Climate Accord speaking in beijing president macross that cooperation between europe and china on reducing emissions would be decisive this follows the trumpet ministration beginning the formal process to withdraw the United States from the agreement president xi and mccrone described the deal signed in 2015 as irreversible and. Over the past 2 years in the fight against Climate Change we have consistently acted together with great effectiveness and commitment. But i regret the choices made by a few other countries but i want to see them as marginal choices. When china the European Union and russia ratify the Paris Agreement and make a Firm Commitment the isolated choice made by one or another country wont change the course of the world. Now the course of the world has scientists around the globe so worried that theyve issued a joint call to action on Climate Change describing it as an emergency too many of us are living too well they say without taking note of what its doing to the planet they warn that we risk untold suffering if things dont change. To mitigate an impending Climate Emergency sadia 11000 Scientists Research in 6 areas is critical 1st and foremost how we get our energy theyve recommended higher taxes for Carbon Emissions dramatically curtailing the use of fossil fuels and massively extending Renewable Energy sources. Then theres the problem of short lived pollutants like sirte and hydrofluoric carbons reducing them could lower the short term warming trend by 50 percent they say. When it comes to nature they want to see forests reefs and grasslands restored as well as a halt to habitat and biodiversity loss. In our food supply animal products are a major problem not only do livestock contribute directly to emissions but growing food for them also takes valuable land they could be used for crops to feed the growing population. The scientists also take issue with Economic Growth the pursuit of affluence and wealth they say is a major factor driving Climate Change finally they also bring up the controversial issue of human population growth which is currently exploding at a rate of 80000000. 00 people a year the Scientists Say it needs to be stabilized if possible reduced. Those are the most urgent steps that need taking says the statement but far from the only ones. To cash it could have much use from the new Climate Institute i asked him what the withdrawal of the u. S. From the Paris Agreement means for global efforts to combat the climate crisis. Of course that you will lose the Global Leadership in the u. S. Is taken are scimitar so if that meter is not taking action of course there are the fact other countries and this in action as well but at the same time in the u. S. There are a lot of things happening at the state level and also city level as well as a business level and when you actually aggregate those efforts you know the country cant get close to the emission levels. They committed as a country ok so the United States has walked away from the deal china the worlds biggest polluter has signed up to the deal but its c o 2 emissions are expected to continue to increase until at least 20 certainty so if the worlds 2 biggest polluters say theyre going to pollute for the next 4 seeable future what good is the powers climate agreement. So what what whats. With kerosene and its in that china is the u. S. Emissions of course it was the emission levels want to control. At the current levels of course the achievement of the agreements long term goal will get extremely difficult if not impossible for china. Their current target for 2030 years to peak their mission is about before 2030 if the lot of researchers claim that it is possible and its likely that its emissions will peak. 520202025 or even before and a lot of countries and governments are expecting that china will increase its ambition under the Paris Agreements ok now becoming a little glimmer of hope their cash.
