WRI: Emissions' Epochal Enormity & Humanity's Heating Hazard
Global greenhouse gas emissions grew fifty percent between 1990 & 2023, the energy sector driving seventy-six point seven percent of the total. Industrial processes are the fastest-growing source, up one hundred & ninety-one percent since 1990. Current national climate commitments cover less than fifteen percent of the forty percent emissions cut needed by 2030 to limit warming to one point five degrees Celsius. The World Resources Institute calls for urgent, massively scaled climate action across all sectors & all nations.
