Carbon emissions threaten 1.5C climate threshold sooner than thought.

Human fossil fuel emissions are threatening a key climate threshold more quickly than previously thought, a new report says.

Researchers say the world may be committed to breaching the 1.5C limit by 2029, rather than the mid 2030s.

They say record average emissions of carbon dioxide over the past three years are a key factor.

The paper investigates the CO2e emissions associated with rail and ship transportation, comparing Black

Pellets and White Pellets. The report also briefly analyses the other environmental benefits of Black

pellets such as GHG emissions, wildfires and beetle infestation and argues that the proposed biomass

plant can make a significant contribution in addressing climate change and enhance biodiversity. 

The effects of the large forest fires in Canada are now also affecting Europe. This is shown by satellite images of clouds of smoke. They should reach southern Germany on Friday. But that shouldn't worry you.

Dozens of forest fires continue to rage in western Canada. Thousands of people have to leave their homes. The cause of many fires is still unknown.
