"in order to have at least a 66 % chance of limiting global warming to, or below, 3.6°F above pre-industrial levels, no more than 1 trillion tonnes of carbon can be released into the atmosphere from the beginning of the industrial era through the end of this century.The IPCC report estimates that we’ve already used 531 billion tonnes of that budget as of 2011 -- burning fossil fuels for energy -- clearing forests for farming and more. THIS PUTS US ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CARBON BUDGET WITH ONLY 469 BILLION TONNES LEFT."
