In response to Has climate policy-making gone completely off the rails?

Beyond three degrees

In response to David Spratt's legitimate scepticism about Australia’s climate policy, there is really only one point to make. The world will not spend very long at 3°C of warming because by then it will be heading rapidly for 4 or 6 or higher. Many components of the climate system will have tipped and be reinforcing warming. The runaway will be far beyond humans to control. A policy for 3 degrees is a policy for apocalypse.
