"With just 0.84% of the global population, the UK’s equal share of the remaining 1.5°C carbon budget (160 GtCO₂) would be 1.34 GtCO₂. The CCC allocates it 3.7 GtCO₂ – nearly three times its equal per person share. However, even an equal share allocation would fall far short of the UN’s equity framework. Past CCC analyses have likewise embedded significant inequities"

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot This whole 1.5° rise is highly academic anyway. It already supposes that we will cross it, and then go down again to eventually land there. It is a highly speculative scenario requiring not hitting any runaway changes in the meantime. And even this already not very benign scenario becomes more highly unlikely each passing year that we fight wars amongst ourselves and spend energy like there is no tomorrow.
