"What was is in the mind of astronomers, is now there for the world to see," said Deane who was part of a team of 200 people from 40 countries that analysed the data.

This would be more surprising if four of the BRICS nations, including South Africa, hadn’t been pivotal to a backroom climate deal at Copenhagen in 2009 that removed binding emission reduction targets for every country on Earth.
