Description: The Paris Agreement temperature goal, be it 2°C or 1.5°C, as identified and decided to be reached by All Countries is NOT EQUITABLE, NEITHER FAIR as far as it does not differentiate past emissions and historical responsibilities from the current ones. It ignores historical GHG emissions since the pre-industrial era. How this happens ? To demonstrate the current unfairness and inequity of the Paris Agreement temperature goal, let’s see this from science perspectives or more correctly from IPCC assessments’ findings, to be scientifically correct and comparable. What science tells us about the raise of temperature due to the anthropogenic GHG emissions starting from the first data and information recordings, that’s widely known as the preindustrial era, starting around 1870-1890.
