However, this
in itself is not enough to define what
level of warming is «dangerous,» especially since the projections of actual impacts for any
level of warming are highly uncertain, and depend on further factors such as how quickly these
levels are reached (so how long ecosystems and society have had to respond), and what other
changes are associated with them (eg:
carbon dioxide concentration, since this affects plant photosynthesis and water use efficiency, and ocean acidification).
There is a potent sense

carbon -
