Some experts warn the deals hammered out at COP26 so far may not quite meet the moment.
Glasgow, Scotland Delegates from around the world hammered out a number of agreements in the first week of COP26, an international summit where global leaders are attempting to limit the climate crisis.
There were a few breakthroughs, but some experts warn the deals may not meet the urgency of the moment. Specifically, experts are concerned they won't get the world closer to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius."There's a lot of big statements, which don't have the details underneath: exactly when, how much, who's going to do what," said Helen Mountford, vice president for climate and economics with the World Resources Institute.
