Morrison government experts say Australia must 'do more' on climate

The Morrison government's climate change advisers say Australia and others must do a better job of cutting emissions for the world to meet the Paris goals, and more ambitious policies are needed to put the nation "firmly" on the path to a zero-carbon economy.

As the driest inhabited continent on earth, Australia is
particularly vulnerable to the effects of planetary warming.

The statement coincides with a new scientific assessment of the Great Barrier Reef that found coral had suffered an "unparalleled" decline over the past five years and the damage wrought by climate change would only worsen.

Climate Change Act must set 'net zero' emissions target by 2020, experts say

Britain's climate change targets must be strengthened by 2020 in order to meet stringent international targets, a new report  has warned.

A new report states the UK must set new targets to ensure
 greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by the removal
of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

The nation must strive to cut its emissions to “net zero”, the point at which annual greenhouse gas emissions are balanced by the removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, the experts at the London School of Economics (LSE), stated. 

Achieving such a target could require anything from planting more trees to developing new technologies that suck carbon dioxide from.”
