"I don't know that it is possible to say right now are we going to end up with 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9°C?  But it's got to be within that range. There is no doubt that it has to be below 2°C."

"It’s very obvious that lower temperatures provide more security and more safety.  That is unquestioned."

~ Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary, UNFCCC [See Hickman (2015, June)]
