The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment, released in August, emphasizes that limiting climate change requires capping total carbon dioxide emissions, “reaching at least net zero CO2 emissions,” and making major cuts in methane and other greenhouse gas emissions. If emissions had peaked back in 2000 we would be skiing down a bunny slope toward 1.5C.
