# Talk:Paris Agreement

The Paris Agreement could include a description of the the carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions of the “ideal mathematically average world citizen on track to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees C”
The United Nations Environmental Programme Gap Report page XIII states “to get in line with the Paris Agreement, emissions must drop 7.6 per cent per year from 2020 to 2030 for the 1.5°C goal.”

We can find out the CO2 emissions of the “ideal mathematically average world citizen on track to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees C” by taking the 36.8 billion metric tonnes of CO2 emitted by the world in 2019, putting it into an Excel spreadsheet, dividing 36.8 billion metric tonnes of CO2 by the world's population of 7.6 billion people, expressing it as “pounds of CO2 per world citizen per day” by multiplying by 2205 pounds per tonne and dividing by 365 days per year, and decreasing those “pounds of CO2 per person per day” by 7.6% a year until in 2030 the “ideal average world citizen” is emitting just 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day.
Can the “ideal average world citizen on track to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees C” emit 12.3 pounds of CO2 per person per day in 2030 and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C?
No, those 12.3 pounds of CO2 per world citizen per day will still capture infrared radiation and lead to more global warming above 1.5 degrees C. 
What life styles can people lead and not contribute to global warming and climate change?
What life styles can people lead and respond to the New England Journal of Medicine “Call for Emergency Action to Limit Global Temperature Increases, Restore Biodiversity, and Protect Health”?
https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2113200
To restore biodiversity, protect health and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C people must live as hunter gatherers.
To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C in 2030, every world citizen must sequester all of the carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases that they emit.  Currently only hunter gatherers have all of the carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions sequestered by the green plants on planet earth.   
How many people can live on earth as hunter gatherers?
In his Discover article on agriculture being "the worst mistake in the history of the human race" Professor Jared Diamond writes that it takes about 10 square miles of land to support 1 hunter gatherer.  It is possible to take the number of square miles of arable land in each nation and calculate the number of hunter gatherers that that nations can support.  Here is a preliminary estimate of the number of hunter gatherers that the following nations can support: Scott B Love (talk) 06:31, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

This is not a forum. You can make specific text change suggestions. This kind of content is more related to the article Individual action on climate change. I noticed that you posted rather similar content already at the talk page of climate change in 2021. EMsmile (talk) 21:07, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

I've just re-arranged the structure a bit because I felt there were too many main level headings. Also, I think the main level headings should be as generic as possible. The new structure now looks like this (no content was deleted, just moved):

Aims
Development
Parties
Content
Specific topics of concern (note this heading is not yet great; maybe "cross-cutting issues" is better; or something else?)
Implementation
Reception and debates 

For comparison, the old structure was like this:

Development
Parties
Content
Mitigation provisions and carbon markets
Climate change adaptation provisions
Loss and damage
Transparency
Implementation and effectiveness
International response
Litigation

So I did a bunch of research on this image that was used in the Paris Agreement wiki page. It seemed kind of off to me at first glance because Greenland was grayed out while it has joined the Paris Agreements. Granted, it joined in 2023, so the map could just be outdated, but I did further research and the entire map seems off.
So I looked into where the source of the map is from, and it looks reputable, but then I looked for where that article got the graphic from and it's this. This is a document covering a programming tool that can be used to more efficiently display world graphics. I don't see any references in this document to where they got the data from, so I assume it's fabricated. Not only this, but I can't find the map that the original article got from this document. So it's not even a fabricated source - it's just not there.
This image is not only outdated, but as far as I can tell, there's no actual source for it. I could very well be mistaken, but can someone double check my work and determine if this is a legitimate image or not? If I'm right, this should be removed quickly or replaced with a more important graphic. ArkiThe7th (talk) 13:17, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Oh, that would be a problem. We took it from this journal paper (compatibly licenced): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8064561/ Could you perhaps contact the authors of that paper and raise your concern about the original source with them? EMsmile (talk) 16:42, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

The fact that the USA has pulled out of the agreement means multiple aspects of the page are outdated. Tospsy (talk) 15:41, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Can you be more specific such as by naming some sections or quotes that need to be updated? If you see anything wrong with this page you should just change it because that aligns with the policy of WP:BOLD. Qwerty123M (talk) 22:21, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

We should update the article 85.75.18.156 (talk) 12:08, 2 February 2025 (UTC)
