| With emissions rising by one gigaton per year, it appears the temperature-increase target will most likely be missed. |
| Fossil fuel emissions of 1,000 gigaton, sometimes associated with a 2C global warming target, would be expected to cause large climate change with disastrous consequences. |
| If we leave it longer to start reducing emissions, we will have to reduce them more rapidly to avoid exceeding the overall 800 gigaton limit. |
| Deforestation now is responsible for adding 1 gigaton of carbon each year to the atmosphere. |
