Climate negotiations: Tie carbon emissions to consumers
TLDR
Social media are increasingly influencing mainstream scientific communication and could stimulate a spread in reality science, blurring the demarcations on which the legitimacy and quality assurance of science traditionally depend.

Societal response to challenges of global change and human sustainable development
It is now widely accepted that carbon emission from human activities is an important driving force in global warming, and global change has a deep impact on sustainable development of human society.…
Industrial and terrestrial carbon leakage under climate policy fragmentation
One of the main concerns in international climate negotiations is policy fragmentation, which could increase the carbon emissions of non-participating countries. Until very recently the carbon…

Greenhouse-gas emission targets for limiting global warming to 2 °C
TLDR
A comprehensive probabilistic analysis aimed at quantifying GHG emission budgets for the 2000–50 period that would limit warming throughout the twenty-first century to below 2 °C, based on a combination of published distributions of climate system properties and observational constraints is provided.
