COP21 POLICIES AND ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE: Political Economy of Hawking’s Irreversibility

Abstract

Climate and earth scientists have convinced a large majority of people that climate change occurs today. And the new theory of abrupt climate change entails that huge feedback lopes will change the Earth already within the next one or two decades. Yet, this information is only half the story, as the pragmatical side is also part of climate change: will the COP21 promise of global decarbonization be fulfilled? It requires global coordination by states or government, which is very hard to achieve. The COP process by the UNFCCC and the IPCC never speaks about it. The aim of this paper is to emphasize that global decarbonization can only be accomplished by global state coordination, which reduces the probability of COP21 success considerably.
