... There are two ways to defy the strict constraints of the IPCC’s 2°c budgets. One way is to accept considerably greater risk (or virtual certainty) of exceeding 2°c. This, of course, implies also accepting rising risks of exceeding even higher temperatures -- 3°c, 4°c, even more. Without additional m ...
