Calls for Greater Ambition on Climate Change

Based on current pledges to cut carbon emissions, scientists have calculated that the earth will be 3,5 degrees centigrade warmer in 2100 than it was in pre-industrial times. This is well above the 2 degree centigrade tipping point that is often talked about. As such scientists have asked governments to be more ambitious in their targets to cut emissions. Climate change talks are currently continuing in Durban, South Africa.
