4.1  We must stay under 2 degrees

We must stay under 2 degrees Celsius at literally any cost

The facts of Climate Change are clear. Now, we must think about what needs to be done to correct this problem. The ‘Paris Climate Agreement’ aims to keep the world’s average temperatures well below an increase of 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

The current committed pledges by signatories to the ‘Paris Climate Agreement’ will lead to 3 degree Celsius increase in global average temperatures, and only if the commitments are met on time. This temperature increase is extremely dangerous.

A 3 degree Celsius increase in average global temperatures will produce “OUTRIGHT CHAOS” for the continuance of human civilisation.

Just a 2 degree Celsius increase in average global temperatures is deemed to be a “VERY DANGEROUS BOUNDARY” line for the continuance of human civilisation.
