Bill Hare explains that Biden's pledge to reduce methane may be undercut by a slew of new, federally approved gas projects in the US, which could cause a 500% increase in methane emissions in the decade if all planned developments go ahead.

Planning and build-up of liquified and other natural gas — due to an energy crisis triggered by Russian’s invasion of Ukraine — would add 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (1.9 billion metric tons) a year to the air by 2030, according to a report released by Climate Action Tracker.

"We're witnessing a major push for expanded fossil gas LNG production and import capacity across the world – in Europe, Africa, North America, Asia and Australia – which could cause global emissions to breach dangerous levels," - Bill Hare

"We’re at that stage of history now where everyone has to reduce emissions. And the implications of John Kerry’s proposal is that companies would not actually have to reduce emissions if they buy offsets." - Bill Hare voices concern against the US's proposed Energy Transition Accelerator

India could help limit global temperature rises to 1.5C - but only if its emissions peak as soon as possible and if by 2030 they have dropped by 16% from their 2005 levels. - Nandini Das, a climate and energy economist at Climate Analytics

At COP 26, the Vietnamese government promised to end the construction of new coal plants and phase out the dirtiest of those already running. However, as Dr. Nandini Das of Climate Analytics points out, "this is not actually what Vietnam is doing at a national level", since new policies have yet to be implemented.

“Our current levels of global warming at 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit) have already caused dangerous and widespread losses and damages to nature and to billions of people... Losses and damages are unavoidable and unequally distributed” with poorer nations, the elderly, the poor and vulnerable hit harder. - Climate Analytics scientist Adelle Thomas
