Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

International agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, call for promises from all countries to reduce their use of fossil fuels. However, as of now, there are no binding limits on carbon dioxide emissions, no halt in the construction of new coal-burning power plants, and it is uncertain whether these agreements will be sufficient to keep global temperatures from rising more than 2°C by 2100.
