"I share everyone’s frustration about the state of global climate action to date. But this critical decade has 8 years more to go. Walking away from this ambition when we will never have a better shot at averting the worst would be an enormous moral failure." - Carl-Friedrich Schleussner, discussing the 1.5C limit.

“We now need the G20 to do what they have committed to and make the necessary deep cuts in emissions, and more importantly, stop subsidising fossil fuels.” - Bill Hare

Australia's recent historic wildfires, floods, and cyclones exacerbated by climate instability have driven a political shift in the country as voters have grown more concerned with climate change, said Bill Hare, CEO of Climate Analytics.

“The question is not about population but rather about consumption patterns, so it’s best to look at the major northern emitters to begin with.” - Climate Analytics CEO, Bill Hare

A study from Climate Action Tracker shows that planned LNG projects would more than double the world’s current liquefied natural gas capacity, generating roughly 47 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent between now and 2050.

“It hasn’t been scientists — it certainly hasn’t been Western scientists — that have been calling for this. It’s been vulnerable nations around the globe that said this is an effort we need for our very survival.” - Carl-Friedrich Schleussner, highlighting the importance of keeping the interests of the world’s most vulnerable places at the heart of climate negotiations.

Using research from the Climate action tracker and quotes from Bill Hare, this article calls attention to the increase in new Liquid Natural Gas projects being built in response to the energy crisis.

Bill Hare warns ‘the resulting oversupply will produce excess emissions of 2 billion tons of CO2 a year by 2030.’ commenting on 'the dash for gas.'

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.
