Australia takes centre stage

Gee, the rest of the world has been moving quicker than what we anticipated.  What can we do in the next two weeks to catch up?

"The move, hailed by the Coalition government, is expected to knock 0.5°C off anticipated global temperature rises, and comes as Australia is rushing to ratify the Paris agreement before the next major climate talks begin in Marrakesh, Morocco, in just over two weeks.

The Paris agreement has been ratified by more than 60 countries representing more than 60 per cent of global emissions, meaning it will come into force in the next few weeks, four years earlier than anticipated when the deal was reached last December.

Australia’s ratification – if it occurs before the Marrakesh meeting – will mean that it can play a key role in talks designed about how to bring that pact into force, notably setting the platform for countries to increase their climate targets over and above those that were brought to the table in Paris."
