Notes
1. The agreement, however, includes only emissions derived from the burning of fossil fuels, leaving out emissions from important sources such as industrial agriculture (responsible for 24% of global emissions) and air and maritime transport (responsible for 10%), although the latter, due to the high altitude they are produced at, have a much greater destructive effect, estimated at 2.7 times more (RFI-Radiative Forcing Index). For these types of emissions, not even voluntary contributions are required.
2. The same week in which this new report was released, 23 international organizations, 6 “alternative Nobel prizes” and 87 national organizations from five continents published a manifesto calling for an end to experimenting with climate geo-engineering due to the devastating impacts this could have on ecosystems and in many communities of the world, especially indigenous ones. These measures only divert attention from real solutions. (http://www.geoengineeringmonitor.org/2018/10/hands-off-mother-earth-manifesto-against-geoengineering/)
