There is no plan B, no planet B and no way of reversing climate change. All we can do is slow it down…

Temperature

The average global temperature increase since 1750 is 0.8°C. An overall global temperature increase of 2°C is often referred to as the ‘tipping point’ after which global warming could become unstoppable.

An overall temperature rise of 2°C doesn’t sound much. However, the difference in overall world temperature between an ice age and an inter-glacial period is just 4 or 5° C. The five hottest years on record (1998, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005) were all within the last decade.
