In island n ations that are losing their homes to sea-level rise, and in other highly vulnerable countries, there were bitter pills to swallow after global commitments to cut emissions fell far short of the goal to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7°F). Now, those promises must be acted upon. As a former senior U.N.

While natural gas burns cleaner than coal, the advantage of using it is negated by the methane emitted in its production. Methane, the main component of natural gas, heats the planet at a much greater rate in the short term than carbon dioxide. Fittingly, Landrieu is also playing a role in rehabilitating natural gas’s image.
