Zusammenfassung:	First was 'business as usual': increasing emissions of C02 and other greenhouse gases with no mitigation action (the scenario used by the Inter- governmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Emissions Scenarios A1B). [...]was a low-emissions' case, in which there is a 50% chance of keeping the rise in global mean temperatures below 2°C (the 2016r5low scenario from the UK Met Office).
