Carbon emissions must peak by 2020
The UK Met Office have said that carbon emissions must peak by 2020 if temperatures are to rise by no more than 2C. What is quite worrying is that even if they peak in 2020, there is still a 50% chance that the temperature rise will be above 2C. If they peak later than 2020, even just a few years later, the odds of staying below a 2C increase quickly get much worse. This shows just how urgent and serious the situation now is.
