 COP 28 in Dubai  ended with what was described as an 'historic agreement' to transition away from fossil fuels.
With a devastating 1.5C being the long term temperature goal, and bear in mind that the 2022 heatwave led to 62,000 deaths in Europe in 2022 and we are still only building up to 1.5C, it would still be would catastrophic, the latest UN analysis has the world was on course for 2.8C of warming which will have
consequences which doesn't bear thinking about but we can't say we haven't been warned.
So in Dubai after agreeing to the historic agreement, the EU's commissioner for climate action said it is was 'a moment of true satisfaction' and the US climate envoy John Kerry was photographed hugging the German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock and i was sitting thinking, are we supposed to congratulate
them for agreeing not to literally set our planet on fire?
Are we meant to be celebrating that the heads of Government have got together and finally done something about a problem which has been talked about for a century and we waited until now to do something about it?
Yeah, thanks a lot.
