THE NEW BOTTOM LINE: ESG as a driver of investment strategy and performance. Responsible-Investor.com.At the Paris Agreement, nations committed to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
To see how much temperatures have risen compared to pre-industrial levels, a comparison with the period 1951-1980 does not give the full picture... the global temperature rise from 1890-1910 was 1.58°C or 2.84°F.
The temperature rise is even higher when looking at measurements from land-only stations... a Land-only anomaly of 2.42°C or 4.36°F.
Taking into account that temperatures had already risen by some 0.3°C (0.54°F) before 1900, this adds up to a total temperature rise on land in March 2016 of 2.72°C (4.9°F) from the start of the industrial revolution.
