The tragedy of global warming: from the IPCC’s fifth report to the Paris Climate Conference 2015

Abstract

`titrebThe tragedy of global warming: From the fifth IPCC report to the 2015 Paris Climate Conference`/titrebReports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) always signal a new step in the fight against climate change. The first report, in 1990, led to the adoption of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change during the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. The second one, released in 1996, prepared the way for the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The third, in 2000, emphasized “adaptation”, an idea taken up during subsequent negotiations. The fourth report in 2007 made a step toward setting at 2?C the maximum increase in temperature and opened the way to the non-binding Copenhagen Accord and then to Cancun. What consequences will the fifth IPCC report of October 2014 have? Will it help finalize the Paris agreement? Or will it be considered to be one report too many — repeating what has oft been stated over the last twenty years? Before replying, the major points raised in this report are discussed; and questions, asked about some of the conclusions. Lessons are drawn for the worldwide agreement on the table in Paris.
