In order to keep global warming to no more than 2°C (3.6°F) the basis for the Paris climate agreement struck last year scientists have devised a carbon budget for how much carbon can be emitted before warming crosses into catastrophic territory.

Al Jazeera: Pope Francis warned of a "catastrophic" outcome if vested interests block a binding agreement to tackle climate change at UN talks in Paris next week. "In a few days, an important meeting on climate change will be held in Paris... It would be sad - and I dare say even catastrophic - were particular interests to prevail over the common good and lead to manipulating information in order to protect their own plans and projects," the pontiff said on Thursday. The 78-year-old pope has taken on a...
