2007 Bali Climate Declaration by Scientists
Unlike the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which tries to assess the current situation and what the future trends are, the 
 makes explicit recommendations to policy makers. These are twofold, one regarding the current Conference, and one future goals. On the talks here at Bali, the Declaration says it is necessary that "a new global climate treaty [...] needs to begin in December 2007 and be completed by 2009". It went on to say that "The primary goal of this new regime must be to limit global warming to no more than 2 °C", and that emissions would need to be cut to 40% or less than 2004 levels in order to be able to reach that goal.
