A year ago at Cop26, global environment editor Jonathan Watts
caught up with two climate scientists to hear what they thought
about the progress made. A lot has happened in the intervening 12
months, and the world hasn’t stayed on track with its previous
promises and pledges. Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil
fuels are expected to increase by 1% in 2022, hitting 37.5 billion
tonnes – a record high. Ian Sample called them both up to find out
how they’re feeling now. Speaking to Prof Peter Stott, Ian asks
whether the 1.5C goal is still alive, and questions Katharine
Hayhoe on how she stays hopeful. Help support our independent
