The Round Two concept is a terrible idea, best forgotten.  Here’s why.  The potential for causing havoc is real enough, as cited in the literature, and is a legitimate cause for concern, but the uncertainties that surround this potential, also much-cited, are equally real.  Most of the uncertainties have a bearing on how it develops and on both the timing and final extent of the worst effects, which could occur in this century, or the next, or somewhere beyond.  No one really knows.
We do know a great deal about Round One and its projected effects on people living in this century, including some unfortunate folks already affected.  Whatever we can do to limit the burdens of Round One will also be of some help to those who inhabit any future time frame.  Quite a bit of action is urgently required toward that end, and there is no doubt that having tangible goals and allowable budgets in mind is of benefit for setting action policies.  Even if the 2C goal cannot be sustained forever, any meaningful delay of its actual arrival will ease many burdens on those now living.  It’s a good thing we have it.  It would help even more if someone could establish a more clearly defined base period and base temperature that cannot be tinkered with, as recently experienced.
