At present we are stealing the future, selling it in the present, and calling it gross domestic product.’

James L. Powell (author of The Inquisition of Climate Science) reviewed 13,950 peer-reviewed papers published between January 1991 and early November 2012, and only 24 (0.17%) clearly reject global warming or endorse a cause other than CO2 emissions for observed warming.

Dr. Malte Meinshausen
![Page 53: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Meeting the Cancun Agreement commitment
International commitment to limit global warming to 2°C above pre-industrial levels
Meinshausen et al calculated that to reduce the chance of exceeding 2°C warming to 20%, the global carbon budget for 2000-2050 is 886Gt CO2
Deducting emissions from the first decade of this century, leaves a budget of 565Gt CO2 for the 40 years to 2050
![Page 54: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
At the present rate of consumption, the 2000-2050 carbon budget will be exceeded around 2024
![Page 55: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
In 1750 (before the growth of fossil fuels) there was 2 trillion metric tons of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere. If we extracted it from the air, this the total volume of that gas. (At standard pressure and 15°C the cube is over 65 miles across.)
![Page 56: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Since 1750 we have added another 1.5 trillion tons
![Page 57: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Nearly 1 trillion tons of the carbon dioxide we have added is still in the atmosphere. The rest has dissolved in the oceans or been absorbed by plants and microbes.
![Page 58: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Warming the planet by more than 2°C risks run-away climate change, and catastrophe for life on Earth. If we add any more than half a trillion tons we will exceed 2°C.
![Page 59: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
When we add up the declared reserves of fossil fuel companies, it turns out they are equivalent to 2.8 trillion tons of carbon dioxide. This is fuel we cannot afford to use.
![Page 60: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
“This shows that the fossil fuel companies have five times more carbon in their reserves than even the most conservative governments think would be safe to burn” – Bill McKibben
![Page 61: Sustainable Futures: What should organisations in Vietnam be doing to mitigate the impact of climate change?](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061212/5495dc8eb479593c058b45b6/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
July 2011
The carbon budget for the 40 years to 2050 is 565Gt CO2
All of the proven reserves owned by private and public companies and governments are equivalent to 2,795Gt CO2
Only 20% of the total reserves can be burned unabated, leaving up to
80% of assets technically unburnable

Using resources more efficiently in ways that can already be achieved; e.g. process redesign (disembodied technical change) or energy efficient buildings, passive solar heating.
