Abstract: Current estimates indicate that global average temperatures might increase by 6.4°C from 1990 to 2100, due to the influence of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Even limiting projected temperature increases to below 4°C above pre-industrial levels would require a radical reframing of the economic direction of contemporary society. This is extremely problematic, since it is currently assumed that the 2°C increase from pre-industrial levels urged by the Copenhagen Accord and restated by the Cancun Agreements, the Durban Outcomes and the Doha Climate Gateway will result in serious impacts on human institutions and ecosystems.
