In Paris, world leaders are fretting over 2 degrees Celsius.
Sound like a trivial pursuit?
No. It's huge. That rise in average global temperatures would put us in a world never before known in recorded history.

That 4-year extreme drought parching California? Try a 20-year megadrought drying out about eight states, desperate fights for drinking water and forest fires eight times the size of current ones.
