According to the Rough Guide to Climate Change, p264, the 2005 Exeter meeting hosted by the Met Office strengthened a consensus that the best goal for climate stabilisation is a 2 degree warming above pre-industial levels. This is also an EU agreed 1996 and confirmed in 2005. In an exclusive interview in the Independent yesterday, Tony Blair said Britain was seeking international agreement on a global target for stabilising greenhouse gases, "somewhere below 550 ppm CO2e, perhaps between 500 and 550 ppm". I want to know whether such a target would conflict with the agreed EU target of keeping the global rise in temperatures to less than 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels.
Will stabilising greenhouse gases at 500 ppm raise temperatures by over 2 deg C above pre-industrial levels?
I don't know but I think its crazy of the EU to set a target of 2% when its quite possible that natural cyclical changes in the climate are occuring over 1000s of years way beyond this 2%. I though we should work with nature and not kick against it.
Reply:it doesn't matter how much they cut it down to, it will not be a safe limit unless it is zero!!
none have to be produced for over 40yrs to get rid of global warming.
scientists are making limits because the corporate busniesses told them to.
