The people at Climate Interactive (no, I’d not heard of ’em either, I think), have sent out this-
So what is the scoop on all the proposals coming out of Copenhagen? There was a January 31 deadline for country proposal – did we make any more progress?
Short answer: No.
The Climate Interactive team has updated our analysis of “current proposals” in light of the proposals and targets numerous nations have submitted to the UNFCCC as a part of the process laid out in the recently adopted Copenhagen Accord. Our analysis shows essentially the same results that we reported December 19th at the close of the Copenhagen Summit: if current proposals were fully implemented average global temperature would overshot the 2° goal and would in fact and increase by approximately 3.9°C (7.0°F) by 2100.
You can learn more about our results by taking a look at our press release, blog post, and data and analysis page.
