S&P Global: New Climate Scenarios Say Paris Agreement 'No Longer Possible'

June 16, 2025--Written by John Egan for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Last month, S&P Global became one of the first analytic firms to publicly acknowledge what many have long suspected: that the goal of the Paris Agreement, which sought to hold the global temperature gain to 1.5° Celsius above Industrial Revolution levels, has become unattainable. Speaking to about 125 attendees at S&P Global's "Carbon Management Americas 2025," held May 13-15 in Denver, Colorado, Jeff Moore, S&P Global's associate director, scenarios and energy transition, began his talk with this caution: "Any claim of a definitive long-term view of the energy future should be met with skepticism and close scrutiny."
