Assuming that all Global negations are adhered to in the future, they wouldn’t be enough to stem the rise in temperature to only 2C.  Stressed by Bob Watson, of the chief scientist at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs states, "Two degrees is now a wishful dream."

Three billion people will loose access to clean water and a billion people will lose their homes.  For more information on the pending crisis please click on:
