This is the End

This is the end! Is it?

UN Paris Jubilee ignores disaster warning of the WMO and omits - despite acute threat of exceeding the 1.5 degree target already in 2024 - immediate drastic rescue measures.

Press release:

On 12/12/2020, the 5th anniversary of the conclusion of the Paris Agreement was celebrated, by a "Climate Ambition Summit 2020".

Here it was explicitly stated that the major common goal of the Paris Agreement to save humanity was to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, and that this goal would be achieved through "emissions neutrality" starting in 2050. climate-ambition-summit-release.pdf (un.org)

In fact, however, the World Meteorological Organization WMO already informed the world public on 8.7.2020 that, according to international scientific calculations, the 1.5 degree target would be exceeded with a probability of 20% already in 2024, i.e. within the next three to four years!

This absolutely alarming message has the Secretary General of the WMO Petteri Taalas for safety's sake on 2.12.2020, so shortly before the anniversary of the Paris Agreement, again announced worldwide 2020 on track to be one of three warmest years on record | World Meteorological Organization (wmo.int), Microsoft Word - WMO_Annual_to_Decadal_Climate_Update_2019 (metoffice.gov.uk)

According to the overwhelming assessment of science, the danger of irreversible climate catastrophe tipping points is very high from exceeding the 1.5 degree target, with the consequence of further dramatic global warming to 3 to 5 degrees and more and the unstoppable horrific destruction of the entire human race.
