UN to world leaders: To curtail warming, you must do more

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Pressure keeps building on increasingly anxious world leaders to ratchet up efforts to fight climate change, and officials report slight but vague signs of encouragement from ongoing talks at the United Nations.

For the second time in four days, this time out of U.N. headquarters in New York, leaders heard pleas Monday to make deeper cuts of emissions of heat-trapping gases and give poorer countries more money to develop cleaner energy and adapt to the worsening impacts of climate change.

In a private session of more than two hours, about 40 of the world’s leaders provided “encouraging declarations” on the money end, but “there is still a long way to go” on emission cuts, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters afterward. He gave no specifics.

“We need decisive action now to avert climate catastrophe and for that we need solidarity,” Guterres, speaking at a news conference after the session Monday, said he told world leaders. “There is a high risk of failure” at huge climate negotiations in six weeks.

1. I don't think they're gonna get much action, let alone unified action

The short term cost is too high for a long term solution.
It's already too late to avert climate change. It's already here and we've made no meaningful progress on a global basis since climate change became a subject of concern.
I'd love to be wrong on this, but I've not seen anything to change my mind.
