U.N. Paris Climate Conference could serve as endpoint for 2C goal, as preliminary talks begin in Bonn

The plan for the United Nations Climate Conference in Paris was to come up with a feasible solution that could curb global warming, but instead it may be working in the most adverse way possible, as fear grows that the 2C goal may be meeting its end there.

The 2C goal is designed to keep global temperatures in check, and more specifically, to keep the current temperature from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial era levels. Two degrees Celsius is not an arbitrary figure for many environmentalists and scientists, as they believe that the global temperatures rising above this mark will lead to natural disasters such as floods, storms, and even droughts becoming worse than they have ever been, according to Reuters.

The main obstacles to the 2C goal being reached may be coming from governments who are unsure of what may happen should they move away from the usage of fossil fuels.

Even now, the changes being proposed by the same governments which could supposedly cut carbon emissions by the year 2020 are being viewed as insufficient to the cause.

Laurent Fabius, the French Foreign Minister, has proposed one step that could potentially help the climate deal reach its 2C goal, and it involves forcing the United States out of the equation, according to The Guardian.

In speaking to U.N. African delegates present at the climate change talks currently being held in Bonn, Germany, Fabius said the global climate agreement must be worded in a way that it will not require approval from the United States Congress.

Fabius said the political climate in the United States would be a detriment to the agreement possibly passing congress.

The goal of the climate change talks in Bonn is to trim the thus far unwieldy text aimed at curbing global warming into something more manageable just in time for the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris, according to EurActiv.

The U.N. Climate Change Conference in Paris is scheduled to begin on November 30.
