A team of scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) have published a comment in Nature Climate Change entitled “Why the right climate target was agreed in Paris”. It highlights that the Paris goal of reducing the temperature increase to under 2°C will be achievable with a large scale technological transformation to renewable energy systems which would see fossil industries “implode”. The Paris target was simple enough to create worldwide political momentum, the researchers say.
