Good News from Paris on Climate Change

7/10/2016

On the 4th October, 2016, Leonardo DiCaprio and President Barrack Obama took the opportunity to share a platform on Climate Change.  This was reported in The Guardian, with a short video.  In the strongest statement yet, DiCaprio voiced the opinion that world leaders who do not believe in Climate Change, and who reject the science, do not deserve to hold office.

This might provoke a negative reaction in some countries, but DiCaprio is carrying out the mission he has been given by the U.N., and is keeping this issue at the forefront of international politics.  But what is the Paris Agreement? 
 
The main aim of the Paris Agreement  is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The Agreement also aims to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change.

​Significantly, then, on the 5th October, it was announced that 75 Parties have ratified the Paris Agreement, out of 197 in total.  This means that the Paris Agreement will enter into force on the 4th November 2016.  Time for everyone to gear up and start wheeling and dealing on technology and resources?  However long it takes, world leaders who are still on the fence should make some serious time for reflection and have a good hard look at the science.
