A Politico report from COP31 in Antalya says the 1.5C warming target is effectively dead — the United Nations says temperatures will overshoot it even with drastic emissions cuts — yet world leaders refuse to bury it, with Ursula von der Leyen, Mia Mottley, and Marshall Islands President Hilda Heine urging they keep fighting for it. But the summit's hosts and others keep expanding fossil fuels: Australia invests in coal and gas, Erdoğan celebrated two new oil fields before his speech, and leaders expanded fossil fuel production right after Guterres warned them not to.
