Global climate treaty suggests 'planet doesn't stand a chance'

(The general concept of Naveena is okay, but what troubles me a little are the specifics, and maybe that maybe termed “not-picking”.

The planet Naveena seems so concerned about will be fine, what is facing a serious and almost unstoppably threat, are the “Goldilocks-like” conditions which have allowed humans to thrive and prosper – Robert McLean).

If the climate pledges countries have submitted are any indication of whether the world can save itself with a global climate treaty, the planet doesn't stand a chance.

More than 140 countries have submitted plans to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on how they will reduce carbon dioxide emissions to fight climate change. These countries account for about 90 percent of global emissions. They form the basis for final treaty negotiations that will take place in Paris in December.

Climate scientists agree that in order to prevent the worst consequences, global warming must be held to within 2 degrees Celsius. The pledges submitted so far will reduce emissions by about 60 gigatons compared to business as usual, but will limit temperature rise to only 3.5 degrees Celsius, according to Climate Interactive, the non-profit tracking the progress of the global climate change movement.
