Summary : An assessment shows that current climate commitments submitted by 155 countries for COP21 would increase global temperature around 3º C.

A JRC assessment shows that current climate commitments submitted by 155 countries for COP21 would increase global temperature around 3º C. 155 countries representing around 90% of global emissions have submitted their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) on climate policy to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in preparation of the new climate negotiations to be held in December in Paris. JRC's assessment of these initial proposals concludes that, if aggregated and fully implemented, unconditional INDCs (without international climate financial support or international cooperation mechanisms) could set global emissions growth at around 17% above 2010 level by 2030. Under EU's scenario to reach the global goal set by all Parties under the UNFCCC, i.e. limit global temperature increase to below 2ºC, global emissions would peak in 2020 and decline afterwards to 10% below 2010 levels by 2030. When considering unconditional and conditional (with international climate financial support and other forms of international cooperation) INDCs combined, JRC finds that global emissions could peak shortly before 2030 at 12% above 2010 level. Assuming countries would keep on their efforts after 2030, these could limit the long term temperature increase to around 3° C. This analysis was presented in the form of a policy brief as background information at the October preparatory meeting INDC Forum in Rabat.

Pot Gardening/plantation @home       Dear nature lovers, recently I started a pot plantation at my home. It's making me happier while doing that gardening work. In this post, I want to explain the process of the pot or in any of the "grow bags" gardening.  I have put some spinach seeds in the medium size pot and it gave me free pesticides spinach for a day kitchen. Here you go with the procedure to grow at your home too :). Steps to go: 1. Ensure the right size of pot for your seeds. 2. Please make sure it has excess water drain wholes to come out of it. 3. Now you can mix red soil with the cockpit, neem powder, and vermicompost. 4. One more important note is here while putting the soil mixture in the pot, please cover the water drain wholes with any pebbles or flat stones to avoid any mud stagnation in those.  5. After you fill at 98% of the soil, please spread the Spinach seeds on the soil and cover with 2% on top of it.  6. Spay some water on top of it (do it twice a d

Air pollution levels in the nation's capital Delhi are always high.  The capital city is always exposed to pollution due to industries, automobile fumes and other construction related activities.  The winter situation is no more.  Obviously, objects can be seen from a distance of 100 meters, except for a dense fog at 8 and 9 am.  Motorists are having a hard time finding the roads in November and December.  Air pollution in Delhi dropped significantly between March 22 and May 18 due to the lockdown.  Air pollution levels in Delhi have declined by 79 per cent, the Center for Science and Environment (CSE) said today. The closure of industries, vehicle traffic, and construction halt are the reasons for the reduction in pollution, CSE said.  However, pollution levels have risen again in Delhi and some other major cities, with further deregulation of vehicle traffic and construction on Lockdown after May 18.  The Center for Science and Environment (CSE) has studied PM 2.5 (air pollutant)
