A taz report from the COP31 climate conference in Antalya centers on Climate Action Tracker's new calculation that current policies put the world on course for 2.7 degrees of warming by 2100, while UN Secretary-General Guterres calls the climate crisis a "brutal truth" and the UN Environment Programme projects 2.8 degrees. Chancellor Merz draws criticism for staying away from the conference, and reviewers say a rapid exit from fossil energy, more renewables, and falling methane emissions are needed to keep the overshoot of the 1.5-degree limit short.
