My favorite quotes from the article:

According to the report, urgent action is needed to stop the global average temperature rising by 2 degrees Celsius above the level in 1750...

-and-

No accurate temperature readings were available for 1750, the report said...

So how are they able to nail the point of no return down to a 2 degree rise over the 1750 average when they don't even know what that was?

Oh, and as for this quote:

...the level in 1750 -- the approximate start of the Industrial Revolution when mankind first started significantly polluting the atmosphere with carbon dioxide.

Maybe it is just coincidental, but that also happens to be the coldest part of the most recent Little Ice Age. Amazing how that becomes their reference point.
