Good Cop, bad Cop

With Cop26 over and the circus having moved on, we’re left to consider what difference it will make. There’s the good: pledges to curb methane, end deforestation and rein in coal. The bad: failure to reach agreement on phasing out subsidies for fossil fuels and watering down language on phasing out coal. And the ugly: the analysis that revealed even if the world achieves the targets it’s set itself at Cop26 and Paris temperatures are still projected to rise by 2.4°C by the end of the century.
