Climate drive falling apart

THE UN Environment Programme said the promises to reduce emissions agreed in Paris three years ago would need to triple to keep global warming below 2C.

America has withdrawn from the Paris agreement, with Brazil and others to follow. America refused to contribute to the $100 billion-a-year climate fund for developing nations which was the carrot to entice them to agree to Paris. China and India will increase their emissions until at least 2030. The Paris accord is crumbling, as are the climate predictions.

The most famous failed climate prediction was from Al Gore in 2006 that sea levels would rise by 20ft “in the very near future”. When will the remaining 19ft 11.5in happen?
