Copenhagen diagnosis

Here is a recent report on what is known about climate change

Link to the Copenhagen diagnosis:


A decarbonized global society is proposed:

"If global warming is to be limited to a maximum of 2oC above pre-industrial values, global emissions need to peak between 2015 and 2020 and then decline rapidly. To stabilize climate, a decarbonized global society – with near-zero emissions of CO2 and other long-lived greenhouse gases – need to be reached well within this century."

That means at the least a complete stop to the use of fossil fuels.
