The Climate in 2016Ĭlimate conditions were not that great in 2016. And it is very likely -more than 90 percent probability-using Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) technical language, that these topics, and many others, will continue to be increasingly hot in the United States and elsewhere during 2017 and beyond. Many hot topics have marked the year when it comes to climate change. Should the United States really depart the Paris Agreement, which can only technically happen on Novem(at the earliest), the situation will only get worst. This exceeds the “well-below 2☌” aim of the Paris Agreement, and year-2030 emissions are higher than what energy-economic analyses indicate would minimize overall costs in view of the necessary long-term reductions. However, when projected further into the future, the INDCs still suggest a median warming of roughly 2.5 to 3.0☌ by 2100. These INDCs lower global greenhouse gas emissions compared to existing policies. Prior to Trump’s presidency, countries-including the United States- had submitted their “intended nationally determined contributions” (INDCs) for the next one-and-a-half decades. In spite of this announcement, the fact remains that a global climate change agreement under the United Nations was adopted in December 2015 in Paris. President Donald Trump announced he will withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.
