Stressing the need for measures to ensure that global average temperature increases do not exceed pre-industrial levels by more than 2°C, the EC said that a rise in temperatures beyond that level would have a serious impact on different aspects of life, particularly human health.
Naglašavajući neophodnost mera kojima bi se osiguralo da povećanje globalne prosečne temperature ne premaši predindustrijske nivoe za više od 2 stepena Celzijusa, EK je ukazala da bi rast temperature preko tog nivoa ozbiljno uticao na različite aspekte života, a posebno na zdravlje ljudi.
