Today is your day Boomer! Did someone say...."finally"! Yes, and I hope all these fossil fuel-burning countries mean it!! According to The Associated Press, "United Nations climate negotiators directed the world on Wednesday to transition away from planet-warming fossil fuels in a move the talks chief called historic. 'Humanity has finally done what is long, long, long overdue, 'Wopke Hoekstra, European Union commissioner for climate action, said. After nearly 30 years of talking about carbon pollution, climate negotiators in a key document explicitly took aim at what’s trapping the heat: the burning of coal, oil and natural gas." What are some of the numerical goals? (1) The deal includes a call for tripling the use of renewable energy and doubling energy efficiency. (2) The transition would be done in a way that gets the world to net zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050. (3) It projects a world peaking its ever-growing carbon pollution by the year 2025. (4) The conference also adopted a special fund for poor countries hurt by climate change and nations put nearly $800 million in the fund. Okay...lots of talk, maybe action right? That's the pessimist in me. The optimist sees that the big boys have signed too: Saudi Arabia, China, and the U.S. to name a few. Boomers, cross your fingers....here's hoping everyone takes it seriously!
