Calculations of global carbon budgets have underestimated potential increases in global temperatures, and the world will have to dramatically accelerate its decarbonisation efforts, a new analysis of climate projections has argued.
According to a new briefing note published by the National Centre for Climate Restoration, also known as Breakthrough, carbon budgets calculated by authorities like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are virtually meaningless due to a failure to adequately account for feedback effects, and are likely to lock in higher temperature increases.
The paper paints a grim picture of the chances to achieve global warming limits enshrined in the Paris Agreement, in which countries agreed to goals of limiting warming to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and striving to limit to no more than 1.5°C.

Hayward Kirsh, who lives on Centre Street in Kaslo, is disapointed that it has taken almost two years for FortisBC and Village of Kaslo to fix a derelict power pole and street light. Submitted photo
A Kaslo resident is hoping bringing attention to a frustrating light problem in the North Kootenay Village with the local power company will speed up any issues that may occur in the future.
Hayward Kirsh, who lives on Centre Street in Kaslo, said the problem began in April 2019 when an email was sent to the Village of Kaslo and FortisBC requesting that one of the power poles on the street be replaced.
