  Climate Change Bill - Purpose is 2 degrees
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority of Lords voted for the Climate Change Bill[1] to have the "principle aim" to--
  
  :ensure that UK emissions of greenhouse gases do not exceed the level necessary to contribute to limiting the global average temperate increase to not more than 2 degrees C above pre-industrial levels.[2]
  
  This appeared as a new clause at the start of the Bill.
