Abstract
Since the Copenhagen Climate Change summit in 2009 the UN agreed not to exceed a 2o global warming. A 50% chance to achieve this goal is to reduce the worldwide (ww) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 to 50% of the 1990 level with an emission peak not later than 2020. Industrialized countries have to reduce GHG emissions by 80 to 95% in this timeframe while emerging countries have to return to the 1990 level by 2050. As fig. 1 shows we are actually far above the target line on a worldwide basis.
