3.5℃

　　This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions; this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.

　　2℃

　　To meet this minimum goal, the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years. Even this increase could sink some islands, worse drought(干旱) and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.

　　1.5℃

　　This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement, after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati, which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking.

　　0.8℃

　　This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began, putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point.

　　0℃

　　The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.

　　9. It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that _______.

　　A. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020

　　B. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries
