The major global powers are doing little to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the planet to below 2C of warming,\u00a0according to reports on a leaked copy<\/a>\u00a0of a forthcoming report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).<\/p>\n

\n

It said global greenhouse gas emissions had risen by 2.2% a year between 2000-2010. And that failing to tackle emissions now would mean future generations would be forced to use\u00a0geo-engineering technologies to suck emissions<\/a>\u00a0out of the atmosphere to preserve the liviability of the planet.<\/p>\n

In a damning indictment of international efforts to cut emissions, the IPCC report shows how emissions rose significantly faster than the 1.3% a year rise recorded between 1970 and 2000.<\/p>\n

A 2.1% rise in emissions\u00a0was projected for 2013<\/a>, meaning global emissions are now more than 60% higher than 1990 levels, the baseline year for the Kyoto Protocol \u2013 the only legally-binding international agreement that has so far attempted to limit emissions.<\/p>\n

The leaked IPCC findings, come as it was revealed that the US, China, Russia, Brazil, India, Germany and the UK are responsible for more than 60% of the global warming that took place between 1906 and 2005.<\/p>\n

According to an unrelated study,\u00a0published in the respected journal Environmental Research Letters<\/a>, the US is far and away the biggest historical emitter with more than double the contribution of second-placed China.<\/p>\n

However, when judged by population, China drops to 19th place. It was also recently\u00a0praised by the UN\u2019s climate chief<\/a>\u00a0for its progress in tackling its emissions.<\/p>\n

A suprisingly high proportion of warming attributed to Brazil and Indonesia in the period is put down to carbon emissions related to deforestation.<\/p>\n

The major emitters have been\u00a0urged to switch to more renewable sources of energy<\/a>, with\u00a0the total global investment in the renewables sector continuing to fall year-on-year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
