Leaked Internal UNFCC Document: Global Temperatures Will Rise by More than 2 Degrees Celsius

A leaked internal document from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change states that current targets on emissions reductions from countries around the world will cause global temperatures to rise above two degrees Celsius. According to the UNFCCC document, current emissions reduction targets could lead to a three degree Celsius rise. We speak to French journalist Jade Lindgaard.

2. And the US showed up to bribe or threaten

And to convert degreesC to degreesF simply multiply by 1.8. So 2C = 3.6F.
