«This Agreement, in enhancing the implementation of the [2015 United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change], including its objective, aims to strengthen the
global response to the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by: (a) Holding the increase in the
global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial
levels and pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial
levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change; (b) Increasing the ability to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change and foster climate resilience and low greenhouse gas emissions development, in a manner that
does not threaten food production; and (c) Making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate - resilient development.

Nonetheless, with rising sea
level and environmental refugeeism compounding the increased demand
on water, food, and land of a growing population (albeit one likely to
level out mid 21st century), the combined impacts of climate change and
global population increase could potentially yield a world that doesn't look that different from the one portrayed in the movie — indeed, as Jim Hansen puts it, «a different planet» — by century's end.

I am very skeptical that
on a
global population
level, humans will bother to
do anything other than lip service when it comes to addressing climate change and the changes to our lifestyle required to significantly reduce our emissions, until it is far too late.
We collectively need to demand that there is no acceptable response to climate change other than strong emission reductions, ensuring that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are returned to 350ppm
levels,
global temperature rise is kept (at the maximum) 2 °C and, even better, 1.5 °C — to
do that, as was emphasized
on numerous occasions, we need a F.A.B. climate deal: Fair, Ambitious, and (perhaps most importantly) Binding.

on how

do we expect the climate to change 9 • How much confidence
do we have in our predictions 9 • Will the climate of the future be very different 9 • Have human activities already begun to change
global climate 9 How much will sea
level rise 9 • What will be the effects
on ecosystems 9 • What should be
done to reduce uncertainties, and how long will this take 9 This report is intended to respond to the practical needs of the policymaker.
In this regard, I would observe that at least one important AGW effect, rising sea
level,
does not depend
on a specific regional outcome so much as
on global mean T. (At least, I think this is so (because my understanding is that most of the rise comes from lower density of warmer water, not from melting ice sheets — though again, not 100 % sure
on this point)-RRB-.
These must be properly factored into management and decision - making frameworks at the national and sub-national
levels to ensure that economic activities

But the evidence shows this can't be true; temperature changes before CO2 in every record of any duration for any time period; CO2 variability
does not correlate with temperature at any point in the last 600 million years; atmospheric CO2
levels are currently at the lowest
level in that period; in the 20th century most warming occurred before 1940 when human production of CO2 was very small; human production of CO2 increased the most after 1940 but
global temperatures declined to 1985; from 2000
global temperatures declined while CO2
levels increased; and any reduction in CO2 threatens plant life, oxygen production, and therefore all life
on the planet.
There is absolutely no reason to believe that this effect will
do anything but get stronger from here
on as the vast «crops» of oceanic bacteria adapt to both warmer ocean waters and increased CO2 and nutrient
levels and simply increasingly cool the
global atmospheric climate simply by «growing faster»!

If we
do nothing to reduce our carbon emissions, scientists project that

levels by the end of this century.14, 15 If,

What, using UN parlance,

Such higher

do at the landmark Paris climate summit last year, to avoid dangerous extreme weather and negative effects
on food security.
A rate of warming that

The argument is not about whether any individual measure affects
global warming (at some
level, every measure
does), but whether an expensive advertising campaign focused
on turning off domestic lighting is the best use of taxpayer funds.
I don't think that the model is reliable at that
level, but the overall change in the
global temperature is one of those things that can, indeed, be estimated based
on overall constraints, and they confirm that the model can not be far from truth
on that.
