Emissions 'far above' 2C target - BBC News

Emissions 'far above' 2C target - BBC News: "Global plans to curb carbon dioxide are well below what's needed to keep temperatures from rising above 2 degrees according to a new analysis.
It is the work of researchers from the Climate Action Tracker (CAT), a consortium of research institutions.
They examined the commitments already made by governments to limit warming.
The CAT rated seven of the 15 submitted carbon plans as "inadequate" to keep temperatures below the accepted level of dangerous warming.
The analysis was released at UN climate negotiation meet in Bonn aimed at advancing a new global treaty.
As part of the attempts to tackle global warming, countries have agreed to submit their national plans to the UN before key talks in Paris in December."
