Levin says Shell seems to be on positive path to reducing carbon emissions
Kelly Levin, a senior research associate at the World Resources Institute in Washington, who has researched the implications of the IPCC’s carbon budget, told Mashable that Shell’s decision, along with the other companies that signed the [Trillion Tonne Communiqué], is a positive sign. “I think it is quite significant that major businesses have come out to support what implies a 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) goal… and in strong support of climate change science,” Levin said, referring to the goal of limiting global warming to no more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels.
