Global carbon emissions are actually on the decline, renewable energy is dramatically on the rise, and we achieved a monumental international agreement in Paris last December that promises to help steer us onto a path that just may avert dangerous
2C planetary warming.
This report, which is unfortunately based on current science (unfortunately because current science is pretty terrifying) begins by noting that we have a mere 565 Gigatonnes of CO2 left in our shared
planetary 2000 to 2050 carbon budget, if we intend to maintain a high probability (80 %) of holding the
warming below
2C.
