Positive announcements at COP26 do give some hope

Lang Banks, director of WWF Scotland, compared the start of COP26 to the
weather in Glasgow. He said: “During the opening days, it was overcast
and dreich with too few commitments from countries and too little money on
the table to address the climate crisis. “But as the week progressed, and
the weather improved, so did the ­signals coming out of COP. “There were
positive announcements from India to ramp up the use of renewables by 2030,
agreements by nations to cut methane emissions by 30% by the same date and
moves by some to phase out use of coal. “Coming in to COP, the UN
­estimated the emissions reductions pledges on the table were leading us
to 2.7 degrees of warming.
