All that\u2019s being done is taking note of the promises of each country and adding them up,\u201d said the former Bolivian ambassador.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly all of the world\u2019s countries\u2013 about 186 to date\u2013 have promised to reduce emissions. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/newsroom.unfccc.int\/es\/bienvenida\/cmnucc-presenta-informe-de-sintesis-sobre-el-efecto-agregado-de-las-contribuciones-indc\/\">official report<\/a>\u00a0of these promises, when seen as a global plan, constitutes an announcement of disaster.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge set in 2009 in Copenhagen was to avoid exceeding 2 degrees Celsius of global warming. The official report would mean an increase in global temperature of between 2.7 and 3.9 degrees Celsius. In other words, actual warming could reach double of what was established as the maximum limit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd 2 degrees Celsius was the roof of the roof, because many countries have warned that even with a 1.5 degree warming their countries could disappear, especially many island nations. With the Paris agreement, warming is going to reach more than double that figure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut there is another report that says: careful, it could be even 5 degrees Celsius. Many think that we are negotiating contributions to emissions reductions, but that is not the case. That is not being negotiated. This is a farce, a scam. I can\u2019t think of another way to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Paris Climate Accords Will Cause the Planet to Burn Paris.
