1. Global average air temperature rose by 0.85C in the period 1880 - 2012.1
Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earths surface
than any preceding decade since 1850.2 Warming of the climate system is unequivocal,
and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to
millennia.
2. According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2016s global temperatures were
approximately 1.1C above pre-industrial levels.3 16 out of 17 hottest years on record
have been from 2000 - 2016.4 2016 was the third and hottest in a row of the
three hottest years on record.5
3. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed. The Arctic icecaps and glaciers are melting
at unprecedented rates, more permafrost is thawing, the sea level has risen, there is
serious ocean acidification, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs)
have increased. There has been a marked increase in the intensity and frequency of
heat waves, droughts, storms, hurricanes and cyclones in the last 50 years.6
4. Research shows that sea levels rose faster in the 20th century than the previous
27 centuries and that global warming is responsible for more than half of global sea
level rise in the 20th century.7
Causes of Global Warming & Climate Change (CC)
5. Human influence on the climate system is clear. Scientists are more certain than ever
that increasing global warminga and climate changeb since 1950 has been caused
primarily by rising emissions of GHGs as a result of human activity (Fig. 1), which
grew by 70% between 1970 and 2004 from pre-industrial times.8 From 2000 to 2010,
total GHG emissions were the highest in human history.9
6. GHGs, within the scope of the Kyoto Protocolc, are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous
oxide, ozone, water vapour and florinated gases (hydrofluorocarbons HFCs,
perfluorocarbons PFCs, and sulfur hexafluoride SF6)10 (Fig. 1).
7. Between 1990 and 2014, there was a 36% increase in the radiative forcing (the
warming effect on our climate) of GHGs.11
8. The atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous
oxide (N2O) have increased to levels unprecedented in at least the last 800,000
years.12 In 2014, the concentrations were 397.7 ppm for CO2, 1833 ppb for CH4, and
327.1 ppb for N2O, about 143%, 254%, and 121% of pre-industrial (1750) levels,
respectively.13

in the Contribution of Working Group III to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

d In order to sum their effects on the atmosphere, the so-called greenhouse gas equivalent concentration has been
defined as the concentration of CO2 that would cause the same amount of radiative forcing as the mixture of CO2and
other greenhouse gasess over a 100-year time horizon. http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-
maps/indicators/atmospheric-greenhouse-gas-concentrations-5/assessment
f Climate change 'commitment' is the term used by scientists to convey the fact that we are locked into a much higher
degree of global climate change than we are already experiencing today. http://www.climate-change-emergency-

i http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2015/100815-noaa-declares-third-ever-global-coral-bleaching-event.html.
Coral bleaching occurs when corals are exposed to stressful environmental conditions such as high temperature. Corals expel the
symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing corals to turn white or pale. Without the algae, the coral loses its major source of food
and is more susceptible to disease. The first global bleaching event was in 1998 during a strong El Nio and La Nia. The second
occurred in 2010.
CHANCE OF AVOIDING 30C: POOR IF THE RISE PASSES TWO DEGREES AND
TRIGGERS CARBON-CYCLE FEEDBACKS FROM SOILS AND PLANTS
Five degrees of warming occurred during the Eocene age, 55 million years ago:
The Arctic Ocean saw water temperatures of 200C within 200 km of the North
Pole itself. There was no ice at either pole.
A 50 world will likely be characterized by major extinctions around the globe
and a reconfiguration of coastlines worldwide and a total collapse of
civilization.131
There will likely be no rainforests left and an expansion of existing deserts.
New deserts in Indo-china, Korea, Japan and the west Pacific and Pacific Isles,
Southern Europe, East Africa and Madagascar and Chile could manifest.132
The last time the Earth was 6oC hotter, it was 251 million years ago at the end
of the Permian period, when more than 90% of all marine species and
70% of all land animals were wiped out in the worst mass extinction the
Earth has known.133
Warm water has less dissolved oxygen so ocean conditions became stagnant
and anoxic. All higher forms of life, from plankton to sharks, faced suffocation.
The warm water also expanded and sea levels soared.
At 5 - 60C, methane-air clouds from oceanic eruptions could destroy
terrestrial life almost entirely.134
Hydrogen sulphide from the stagnant oceans would be a silent killer.
At the same time, as the ozone layer depletes, we would feel the suns rays
burning into our skin, triggering cell mutations leading to cancer among those
who survive.
Billions will possibly die.
With all the remaining forests burning, and the corpses of people,
livestock and wildlife piling up in every continent, the six-degree
world would be a harsh penalty indeed for the mundane crime of
burning fossil energy.135

Fossil Fuel Descent
As of 2013, fossil fuels provided 87% of the world's energy.151 A September 2016
report by Oil Change International152 cited that current developed reservesm of oil
already meet the targets for 1.5C and 2C of warming.
The post-Paris carbon budget represents 16% (473 GtCO2) of global fossil fuel
reserves; meaning that 84% (2,427 GtCO2) must be kept in the ground.153
Specific estimates are >80% of the worlds known coal reserves154;
52% of gas155; and 75% of oil156.
The world has to move into a managed and fairly rapid fossil-fuel descent.
Industrialised countries must reduce GHG emissions by at least 77% by 2050 relative
to 2010 levels.157 Rich countries must phase out coal-fired electricity by 2030,
China by 2040 and the rest of the world by 2050.158
We must immediately cease fossil fuel exploration and new fossil fuel extraction
and transportation infrastructure; governments should grant no new permits for
these.159
We need to cut short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs)n by 2030 to the maximum
extent possible.
We must achieve clean energy and net zero emissions by 2050, and remove a
growing share of the CO2 already emitted.160
m What is known and recoverable through currently operating fields and mines
n Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) comprise black carbon, methane, tropospheric ozone, and some
hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). These are global greenhouse gases as well as dangerous air pollutants, with various
detrimental impacts on human health, agriculture and ecosystems. http://ccacoalition.org/en/science-resources.

Market- and Regulations-Based Solutions
Adopt the 'Polluter Pays Principle'. Introduce market-based instruments to create
efficient incentives for businesses and individuals to reduce CO2 emissions. These
could include cap and trade, or carbon pricing and the revenues from these schemes
can be used to fund mitigation and adaptation initiatives. Adopt the high quality
emissions inventories, monitoring and enforcement mechanisms necessary to make
these approaches work.166
Create powerful incentives that continually reward improvements to bring down
emissions. Terminate subsidies that encourage emission-intensive activities.
Expand subsidies that encourage innovation in low-emission technologies.167
Sustainable Cities
Cities are major contributors to climate change: although they cover less than 2% of
the earths surface, cities consume 78% of the worlds energy and produce more than
60% of all CO2 and significant amounts of other GHG emissions, mainly through
energy generation, vehicles, industry, and biomass use.168
Make cities sustainable and reduce their carbon footprint through (1) municipal and
regional climate action plans; (2) green infrastructure projects, such as urban forestry
to improve carbon sequestration and reduce the urban heat island effect, and locally
decentralized micro-grids using renewable energy sources; (3) smart mobility
planning and design which makes cities less auto-centric and more walkable and
bikeable; (4) incentivising photovoltaic retrofits and new net-zero energy technology;
and (5) corresponding civic engagement and public education strategies, accompanied
by concrete local opportunities for participatory climate action, to change attitudes
and behaviours.169
Lifestyle changes are especially important for urban dwellers. We need to learn to live
simply and avoid excesses. Reduce and if possible, stop eating meat especially beef.
Stop wastage of food, water, and 'stuff'. Buy less stuff. Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Stopping Deforestation
Forests play a critical role in mitigating climate change because they act as a carbon
sink, soaking up CO2 that would otherwise be free in the atmosphere as a GHG.
Reducing and stopping deforestation is not only a beneficial action against global
warming; it also saves biodiversity and supports sustainable development. Rainforests
cool the air above them by turning water from the soil into moisture in the air. When
these trees are chopped down, the cooling effect from this additional moisture is lost.
The effect is so pronounced that if all the trees in the tropics were cut down global
temperature could increase by as much as 0.7oC.186 Tropical forests are home to many
unique species of animals and plants as well as sources of food, medicine, and clean
drinking water for people in developing countries. They also help regulate regional
rainfall and prevent floods and droughts.187

Consistent action must be taken to build the resilience of present and future
generations, particularly of vulnerable poor communities and the young, so they can
live with confidence, competence, and hope in a climate-change world. We must also
rebuild Earth resilience by appropriate action to enable its recovery and regeneration.
Ecological education is, therefore, needed to raise wide public consciousness and
bring about an ecological change of heart so that people will be mobilised to take right
action. We must prepare, empower and enable current and future generations to face
a climate-change future with confidence, competence and hope. We need to build a
global movement of ecological citizens, and establish living ecological focal
points of hope and resilience everywhere.
Citizens should exercise their power to bring about the needed transformation by
their own transformation and influencing this in others. They have the responsibility
to build resilience and advocate for ecological justice; to demand
accountability, transparency and change from governments, corporations, and
institutions.
