The United Nations review on climate change has resulted in an alarming concern globally. Scientists are now recommending that the development of a machine that will remove carbon from our atmosphere needed.

BBC News recently reported that the United Nations Emissions Gap Report that there will be an increase of up to 56 Gigatonnes of Carbon Dioxide in 2030. It has surpassed the 42 gigatonnes target which may result for the temperature to go above 2 degrees.

Head of the UN Environment Erik Solheim said that the Paris Agreement would help slow down climate change due to the Kigali Amendment in reducing HFC. However, this may only be possible if the countries who pledge to support will do its part.

On related news by NASA Global Climate Change, they have an Orbiting Carbon Observatory in space which maps the carbon dioxide made from human emission. Their analysis states that there is a significant increase rate of production which is contributing adversely to the atmosphere.

With this technology in space, it is clear that the monitoring of carbon dioxide is helpful for determining a consistent data. The United Nations on the other hand is taking their result into account as they deemed it reliable.

The political compromise is affecting the effort of the United Nations and the Paris Agreement. According to Climate Home, there will be several human tragedies that are caused by climate change.

UNEP chief scientist Jacqueline McGlade said that what the world is doing in maximizing its effort to lessen down emission of carbon dioxide is not enough. It is factual that reaching the grass-roots, real awareness and climate change education, and strong political will.

The United States, Australia, United Kingdom and other strong force state are now establishing and implementing necessary policies to put an end to this global crisis. One of the moves is energy efficiency creating a good impact.
