Berlin, Germany The IPCC reports that it only wants to limit temperature increases to no more than 2 degrees Celsius. There is a need for an international society. The IPCC has drawn a red line in the sand that connects that 2 degrees Celsius to the amount of fossil fuels we can burn. Which represents a trillion tonnes of carbon. The scientist said (Disruption, 2014): “We are more than halfway there and we are already approaching 600,000,000,000 million tonnes. At this rate, we will fully use the carbon budget within 30 years. What the policymaking community has done is engage in dangerous human interference. In 2009, they agreed on a target of 2 degrees Celsius maximum warning. This would require stopping global emissions within a few decades. As one scientist said (Disruption, 2014): “These 2 degrees are not a safe level. This would still have a climatic impact on the substations. With 1 degree of melting in the Arctic and Antarctic, it would be crazy to know what 2 degrees would do. The same leaders who did not want temperatures to increase by 2 degrees, developed a series of proposals: if we add them up, the temperature will increase by 6 degrees. Most scientists believe that if this continues, civilization will no longer be possible. Some scientists estimate that we should leave 80% of fossil fuels in the ground. The fossil fuel industry wants to burn all the reserves and if that happens that's where we'll get the 6 degrees. Scientists are screaming that if we exceed the 2 degree mark, climate change could spiral out of control and we could trigger our tipping point.
