COP26 climate change summit: So far, so good-ish
Let's start with the Bad News . Governments are far, far from achieving their goal to limit global temperature rise to 1. 5C.
We've already got dangerous warming in the form of floods, record heatwaves and wildfires, with a rise of just 1. 1C.
That's the Natural World . But in the political world of COP26, things are looking a little brighter in the Glasgow sunshine.
Expectations for this conference were low, But seasoned Cop observers have been Pleasantly Surprised by a slew of announcements which suggest The World is on an unstoppable path to a low-carbon future.
" The Mood of The Conference is good, " Pete Betts, the former EU lead negotiator on Climate Change told me.
" The trend towards a zero-carbon world is irreversible. The question is when we get There , and what the climate will be like by then. "
His relative optimism can be explained by some of announcements made at The Summit So Far :
Money: Rich nations have clumsily failed to deliver their promised $100bn to poor countries by 2020. But the former Bank of England governor Mark Carney is looking to. He has gathered 450 organisations controlling 130 trillion dollars, or around 40% of global private assets, and they plan to shift finances to activities that help The Move Towards Zero carbon, such as Renewable Energy . Critics complain the financial institutions will be allowed to invest in fossil fuels, But it's a serious and novel offerTrees: More Than 100 countries. The Pledge includes almost £14bn ($19. 2bn) of public and private funds. We've seen similar initiatives before, But this one's better funded Methane: There 's a pact to cut emissions of The World 's second-worst warming gas, Big emitters China, Russia and India haven't signed, But it's hoped they will join laterCreating markets: Forty nations led by the UK and including China, India and the US, will impose standards, incentives and rules, to create markets for new technologies. This could be transformative if it works. The Partners might, for instance, agree a date by which a certain percentage of steel is made without using coal. This would give investors the confidence to know that markets for innovative technologies would be available, and could radically lower The Price of clean tech worldwideClean energy: In what could be a new paradigm for helping countries to transition to Clean Energy , in a deal with France, Germany, the UK, the US and the EU India: Prime Minister Modi has set. Some People are worried that he doesn't plan to end greenhouse gases until 2070 - But The World will have changed completely by then, and India is likely to be forced economically come into stepUK rules: Most big UK firms and financial institutions will be. Plans will be submitted to an expert panel to ensure they are not just spinKat Kramer from Christian Aid , which campaigns on Climate Change , says the many announcements are a positive sign.
" The Cop itself is a consensus process, so it's a lowest common denominator. What we're seeing is other initiatives bolted on to The Cop - There 's real momentum. "
So Far so good, then. But There have been disappointments.
It had been expected that China would improve its offer to peak emissions by 2030. At least a token gesture was anticipated, But it's brought nothing.
The only consolation for The Cop is that China usually over-delivers on its Promises - unlike some others.
Take the US. Former Presidents George Bush Jnr and Donald Trump both withdrew the US from the Paris climate agreement.
The election of a Republican governor in Virginia yesterday raises the spectre of Mr Trump's possible return, which would probably undo climate measures all over again.
Negotiators will now get down to the messy task of sorting out a rule book, so that nations can Trust each other's carbon-cutting plans.
They'll be rowing about the lack of government finance for poor countries, and The Need for more money to adapt to global heating. And they want " loss and damage" - Code for compensation for Harm Done to them by the emissions of poor nations.
The Virginia news won't help Trust - But There 's a feeling that by the standards of many COPs, this has got off to a good start.
