The basic facts are that the long - range equilibrium temperature rises with every rise in CO2, that the CO2 will only stop rising when we have a world economy with zero net emissions, and that even a 2 - degree increase in average global temperature is forecast to produce huge changes, so there is a limit to how slowly we can go about the transition to zero emissions.
