Is the 2°C World a Fantasy? by Jeff Tolleson Nov. 24, 2015
... The idea of limiting global warming to 2°C dates back to 1975, when economist William Nordhaus of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, proposed that more than 2 or 3° of warming would push the planet outside the temperature range of the past several hundred thousand years. In 1996, the EU adop ...
