Corporate emissions are overall on a 2.7 C warming trajectory, short of the Paris agreement’s goal of 2 C

Companies in the Group of Seven economies are failing to meet Paris Climate Agreement objectives, non-profit disclosure platform CDP and global management consultancy Oliver Wyman said on Tuesday, based on current corporate pledges to cut emissions.

Across the G7, which consists of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United States, corporate emissions targets are overall on a 2.7°C warming trajectory, CDP and Oliver Wyman analysis showed. “Momentum is growing, but as we approach COP27, we must get our 1.5°C goal off life support,” he added.

The study revealed that firms in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands had the most ambitious targets to lower emissions in the G7, as they align with 2.2°C on average, while France is at 2.3°C and the United Kingdom at 2.6°C.

It’s all BS anyway. China adds more CO2 than Canada consumes, and they have zero intent to stop. Green bullshit will destroy our standard of living forever, and will make zero difference to anything.

Unrealistic goals…..that’s why

Don't really think it matters anymore
