2� : Our goal - the "safe"
rise in average global temperature (compared to
pre-industrial levels)
565 Gigatons CO2: Emissions we
can safely burn before we reach that level.
2785 Gigatons CO2: known carbon
reserves owned by existing fossil fuel companies
=> 80% of the KNOWN carbon reserves must not
be burned
=> Given the current amount of emissions, we
will reach the limit in 2031
from Alan Rusbridger, the Chief Editor of the
Guardian, one of the world's most respected
newspapers:
If we do nothing, [what] is almost certain
to occur [is] a future that one distinguished
scientist has termed as "incompatible with any
reasonable characterisation of an organised,
equitable, and civilised global community."

1850-2018 using data from UK Met Office.
You can put your head in the sand, and wait
till the changes that will come anyway will hit
you. Or you can try to ease the change: We have
more wealth and technology available than any
previous generation in history, and we can use
it to reduce the (already massive) effects of
climate change as much as possible. What we do
now will change the lifes of the coming
generations massively -
including that of your children!
