November 14, 2025 news brief from the New Anticapitalist Party-Revolutionaries (NPA-R) in France, translated from French.
According to the Global Carbon Project’s annual report, CO2 emissions from fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) will be 1.1% higher in 2025 than the previous year, reaching 38.1 billion tons. “This is more than the average annual increase of the last ten years, which was 0.8%,” the study notes, indicating that these emissions are now 10% higher than they were in 2015, the year of the Paris Agreement, which aimed to limit warming to 2°C, or even 1.5°C, compared to the pre-industrial period. In other words, this objective will not be met, and the situation will continue to worsen. This doesn’t stop the talk from continuing in Belém, within the framework of COP30, talk which, as usual, will not translate into any concrete objectives. The polluters can sleep soundly.
