Where climate talk heats up
Clayton Collins
Director of Editorial Innovation
Welcome to your Saturday Daily.
As examples of 鈥渓iving with contradictions鈥� go, this one would appear to be a doozy: Signatories of the United Nations framework on climate change will burn literally tons of jet fuel to get to Bel茅m, Brazil, and the gateway to the Amazon. This is not a one-off. Big climate confabs have increasingly become climate-unfriendly affairs, our Rio de Janeiro-based reporter explains, even if the work they support matters.
Her story is a quick, smart read to end a week in which the U.N. said the world has effectively missed a target of holding global heating to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels; Bill Gates made a case for a position between the poles of alarmism and denial on climate, stressing ; and new data from Oxfam and the Stockholm Environment Institute pointed to the outsize contribution to emissions of the wealthiest 0.1%. Lots to talk about in Bel茅m.
