Notes and Graphs on Climate Change
Hello! These graphs illustrate the current situation as COP31 is underway and public policies, such as taxing more the gas and oil to reduce CO₂ emissions are being discussed. These of course have political consequences which are one of the factors that explain the rise of AFD in Germany and RN in France.
Global emissions are expected to decline this year due to the war in Iran. China remains by far the world's largest emitter, while industrialised Western countries have reduced their emissions since the late 1990s.
It is also worth to remember that there has been no statistically significant change in natural disasters over the past 50 years, the km2 of green areas in the world have increased, and that both the number of deaths and the economic costs associated with natural disasters have declined as a percentage of global GDP. Moreover, many alarmist climate-related predictions have failed, and mathematical, economic and meteorological models can yield very different predictions as they are built on very uncertain parameters and extremely complex dynamics.
That being said, there is a high certainty and consensus around threshold on how much a global warming can damage humanity. An increase of 5°C would set the planet with a climate experienced during the Dinosaurs Era, which would make life for humans on earth very difficult, and the melting of ice caps in Antarctica and Greenland could severely increase the the sea levels
