Committed emissions from existing energy infrastructure jeopardize 1.5 °C climate target

@PaulCXBI You could probably go pretty high-level with that one and say 'humanity' or something along those lines. https://t.co/GjyDfKlEE6

@chrisd_jones You hit the nail on the head ! The ext Fig 5 from Tong et al. (2019) (https://t.co/xWqgVsL7Er) shows the temporal evolution wrt to some scenarios ! That's will be a huge debate considering that oil companies are tempted to advocate CCS to su

Medium/long term focus should be reducing fossil fuel consumption instead of increasing production or building new LNG infrastructure. Our current infrastructure already uses up the entire carbon budget. https://t.co/1j8f2WXy3F https://t.co/WsUXTGH2Jg

@climate But it will secure investment for gas and nuclear, of course. So it means locking in fossil fuel investment (and exploration) for the longer term... not exactly ideal when we know that already committed fossil burning will likely take us past 1.5°
