World Energy Outlook
“The projected rise in emissions of greenhouse gases in the Reference Scenario puts us on a course of doubling the concentration of those gases in the atmosphere by the end of this century, entailing an eventual global average temperature increase of up to 6 degrees Celsius.”
World Energy Outlook, 2008 (page 11)

Climate Justice:1. The Extinction Crisis
Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change: Fourth Assessment Report"There is medium confidence that approximately 20-30% of species assessed so far are likely to be at increased risk of extinction if increases in global average warming exceed 1.5-2.5°C (relative to 1980-1999). As global average temperature increase exceeds about 3.5°C, model projections suggest significant extinctions (40-70% of species assessed) around the globe.“
Over One Million Species Face Extinction at 3.5 degrees

The principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities and respective capabilities
• Rich countries like Canada have contributed disproportionately to the problem,
• they continue to produce more emission per person,
• and they have more capacity to deal with the problem because they have more resources.
