A global warming target is converted to a
fossil fuel emissions target with the help of global climate - carbon - cycle models, which reveal that eventual warming depends
on cumulative carbon
emissions, not
on the temporal history of

One example is the organization Oil Change International which argues that most remaining
fossil fuel reserves has to be left in the ground to keep below 2 °C
on the basis of
cumulative emission budgets (Oil Change International, 2016).
The Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change in 2013 estimated that
cumulative carbon dioxide
emissions from
fossil fuels and cement production — from 1750 to 2011 — was about 365 billion metric tonnes as carbon (GtC), with another 180 GtC from deforestation and agriculture.

on ground - breaking research
on 90 entities (investor - owned, state - owned, and government - run
fossil fuel and cement producers) that are responsible for producing the
fuels that have resulted in 63 percent of the global
cumulative emissions of industrial carbon dioxide and methane between 1751 and 2010.
