But carbon is also moving constantly through the global economy, which historically has been powered by burning fossil fuels for energy. As the most prevalent of the greenhouse gases (GHGs), CO2 plays an outsize role in global climate change — for example, it accounted for 81 percent of U.S. emissions in 2018.

Canada has not provided a transition pathway for its fossil fuel workers to move into other industries, and as global demand for oil and gas wanes, tens of thousands of workers could lose their jobs, say the authors of a new report. More difficult careers to transition are the reservoir engineers, hydrologists, and dispatchers.

By Lisa Prevost, Energy News Network. Climate activists say the state’s progress on reducing building emissions has been far too slow given the pace of the climate crisis, and that it needs to end incentives for energy-efficient natural gas heating. Commercial building emissions were also higher. It’s complicated’.

Soaring energy bills? The health and welfare of the millions of households who are worried about soaring energy bills, the UK's long term economic prospects, and the stability of the biosphere itself all depend on these climate sceptic talking points being consigned to the parallel universe in which they belong.

And so today's report's conclusion that while the scale of the challenge is monumental - the world must peak emissions by 2025, before halving them by 2030 - it also encouragingly makes clear that the world already has all of the tools it needs to achieve these aims, in order to keep the chances of limiting global warming to 1.5C
