About this analysis

This Guardian Down to Earth newsletter previews the Cop31 climate talks in Antalya. It says the 1.5C limit is set to be breached, that emissions are falling too slowly and that fossil fuels are the root of the problem, and it attributes the host's electrification goal to the organisers. Nothing in it misleads the reader about the science, the policy or the summit.

What it gets right

  • “the previously agreed 1.5C global temperature-rise limit is set to be breached in just a few years, with the Earth amassing heat at an accelerating pace”

    The newsletter states plainly that the 1.5C limit is about to be breached and that heating is accelerating. It does not soften the science into a debate.

  • “the root of the problem”

    It names fossil fuels as the cause of the crisis in its own voice. It also says why the summit will not tackle them: the veto-like powers of oil and gas producing states.

  • “aided by booming growth in clean energy”

    It tells the reader what climate policy has bought: projected warming cut from about 4C towards 2.5C. It does not present climate action as cost alone.
