The green energy surge still isn’t enough for 1.5 degrees. We’ll have to overshoot, adapt and soak up carbon dioxide

"It was a rare bit of good news on climate. The International Energy Agency
this week released its latest net zero roadmap, showing it was still just
possible to hold global heating to 1.5°C.

In the last two years, we’ve seen major global investment in clean energy,
spurred on by energy independence concerns raised by the war in Ukraine, as
well as intensifying extreme weather.

Even so, it’s unlikely to actually keep us under 1.5°C, the globally agreed
target to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Why? Because emissions are still rising – even as many countries make their
energy grids greener."
