Why is this just a first step? Please note that this initial commitment from the developed countries is expected to be more than countered by increased emissions from others. Atmospheric CO2 levels will double in 2055 instead of 2045. Long term success depends on getting more countries involved in controlling emissions – likely to a still lower level relative to 1990.
