Chance of limiting global warming to 1.5C is 'virtually zero' on current trends, UN warns
"Climate crunch time is here," one UN environment chief warned, as years of inaction threaten to catch up with countries across the world.
The analysis finds that the current trajectory in carbon emissions puts the world on course for a potentially catastrophic 3.1C of warming this century - compared to pre-industrial times.
In future this could reduce UK domestic fuel bills and help people on low incomes get through winters more comfortably in spite of government efforts.
Assuming the UN environment chief isn't talking cobblers of course - a big assumption that one.
