The treaty committed its parties to the important, if awkwardly worded goal of preventing "dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system."
The objective of the treaty is to "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system."
The ultimate objective of the Framework Convention is to prevent "dangerous" anthropogenic (i.e., human) interference of the climate system.
Avoiding dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
Comprehensive surveys were conducted to determine the population number, demography, home range, behaviour and communication, food choices, habitat and anthropogenic interferences on the monkeys.
If a single river appears to be a misfit stream, it may be as a result of anthropogenic interference through groundwater extraction or dam construction upstream.
He further states that a lower limit on "dangerous anthropogenic interference" is set by the stability of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
Hansen and coauthors propose that the global mean temperature is a good tool to diagnose dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
Two elements are particularly important when discussing dangerous anthropogenic interference: sea level rise and the extinction of species.
The concept of dangerous anthropogenic interference was clarified in a 2007 paper, finding that further warming of 1 C would be highly disruptive to humans.
