"The greatest disturbances of which we are aware are those now being introduced by man himself. 
Since his tampering with the biological and geochemical balances may ultimately prove injurious — 
even fatal -- to himself, he must understand them better than today."

Bert Bolin. "The Carbon Cycle."

Scientific American, September 1970

"We still live in a world on a path to 3 or 4 °C global warming, waiting to finally turn the tide of rising emissions. 
At this point, debating whether we have 0.2 °C more or less to go until we reach 1.5 °C is an academic discussion 
at best, a distraction at worst. The big issue is that we need to see falling emissions globally very very soon if we 
even want to stay well below 2 °C. That was agreed as the weaker goal in Paris in a consensus by 195 nations. 
It is high time that everyone backs this up with actions, not just words.”

 Stephan Rahmstorf. Is there really still a chance for staying below 1.5 °C global warming?
