Over the next two weeks we hope that we can count on the world leaders agree and enact radical policies that will curb the inexorable rise of the climate crisis. At last year’s COP28 they agreed to transition away from fossil fuels in what was a very woolly agreement. This year, with conviction, they need to agree to not just phase out but end our use of fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are the biggest source of CO2 emissions which drive climate change. Currently carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are at 423.58 ppm (parts per million) – and rising. This is way above the safe level of 350ppm which was passed in 1990.
