The 2-degree ceiling was set by the U.N. in 2010 with hopes it could stave off or at least ameliorate heat waves, storms, floods and rising sea levels caused by global warming.
The draft report was created using three science reports commissioned by the U.N. over the last year intended to provide data to world governments set to meet in Paris in 2015 to hammer out a new agreement on cooperative efforts to address climate change.
"Deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions to limit warming to 2 degrees C ... remain possible, yet will entail substantial technological, economic, institutional, and behavioral challenges," the report said.
Such cuts from 2010 levels would have to be attained by 2050 if the world is to hold the increase to the 2 degree C level, the draft prepared by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded.
Such reductions face significant challenges, given that emissions driven by coal-fired industrial growth experience by emerging economies such as India and China jumped from 40 billion tons in 2000 to nearly 50 billion tons in 2010, the report authors noted.
Despite opinion polls and surveys suggest many people are skeptical about climate change and especially about human involvement, the IPCC expressed the belief the human activities are the chief driver of changes in climate and global warming.

Hopefully we can cut the U.N. long before that. That old cold war dinosaur has got to go. They are a real pain in the @$$.
Change is the only constant.
What does the UN propose to do about thousands of Christians being murdered or the 200 kidnapped girls being used for sex and suicide bombers.
What will the UN do about that?
Celebrate.
I predict the UN will be buried under 100’ of snow by 2050...
Wait, what???
I thought we only had until 2000 in 1970 to stop Global Cooling, and until 2015 in 2000, when Al gore ran, to stop Global Warming, or we were all going to die??
Lets start by cutting the power to the UN building and restricting flights into America by UN diplomats.
I’ll probably be gone by then.
What? Me worry?
theyve reportedly pledged to Get To those issues,,,, by....2050 or thereabouts
If you look at the political map of the United States, you will note that flooding to the 1,200 foot point would eliminate almost all the blue stain on the map.
On a more serious level, there is ZERO science that shows man made global anything. There is also close to ZERO study being done on what effect it will have.
Before anyone goes to far down the change road, ask what kind of cars dinosaurs were driving when there were tropical swamps in Northern Canada?
20 years ago I thought we only had until 2010.
The UN? The UN? The UN?
When do we cut the umbilical cord and let it die?
Well, you know, it’s all due to “climate change”.
We have until 2050 to push that cesspool ito the east river
Uh oh, I just checked...I don’t have a pulse...Darn you Global Warming...
quit funding the communists and kick them out of the country.
We have until 2020 to disband the UN and execute all its officials and benefactors or we are doomed.
You Vill Comply or you vill be dealt with.
NOT Humor. :-)
