Empty promises will not save the climate

Country leaders must sign a binding agreement, not make promises. Global greenhouse gas emissions are increasing every day, and carbon dioxide concentrations have reached their highest levels in millions of years.

The ability of the atmosphere to safely absorb additional emissions is almost exhausted. In addition, a significant proportion of these emissions remain in the atmosphere for thousands of years.

The oceans are also overloaded with greenhouse gas emissions. The seas are heating up, increasing their acidity, and the number of marine life is rapidly decreasing. By 2100, ocean acidity could increase to 170 percent.

This is a difficult situation and we can no longer listen to promises. The laws of physics in the atmosphere are immutable. They say the planet will respond to global warming. And the response is worse than anticipated - species extinction, ice melting and sea level rise faster than predicted. AmericaRu.com
