2 degree centigrade has always been the standard and there is every reason to believe that is too generous.

I don't care what the PLEDGES are to stem the climate crisis. It has to be better than the graph below because that graph will destroy the planet. No doubt in my mind.

I posted the temperatures in Australia. And Australia is in the southern oceans near to Antarctica. I post those NOTATIONS for a very real reason. BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL. Earth's physics is not up for debate.

I am not promoting politics here, but, Hillary Clinton has promised to turn the USA into an alternative energy land. She is correct. The USA has contributed far more greenhouse gases to the troposphere than any other country on Earth. The next one is Great Britain. The USA has a responsibility to carry out the strategy to turn the corner on the climate crisis. There is no other country that can.

The climate science is completely clear. The USA has to turn this trend around. If temperatures continue to rise this planet will become parched and dead. Why do you think scientists were bringing this before the country in the 1960s? It takes time to turn it around. Hillary Clinton takes this dead seriously. Every leader in the world regardless of party has a profound mission to lead their countries to a benevolent place to live.

There is nothing else to say. The science is clear AND the challenges to maintaining sovereignty is completely obvious. If people don't have water to drink, food to eat and their farmland is rendered dead of any potential the sovereignty of a country is over. Syria is probably the most obvious example. This is NOT strange science or national security assessment. It is real and everyone needs to realize that.

There are eleven highly esteem and VALID climate scientists AND their organizations stating with centuries of experience when their careers are added altogether stating 2 degree celcius is the absolute limit.
