Cutting methane emissions is sometimes called the climate “emergency brake”

- But a @unep.org report at #COP30 today shows the world is not pulling it: emissions are still rising (tho at a slower rate)

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.

10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C

20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C

So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.
