Deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions of at least 50% by 2050 from 1990 levels are required according to science to keep the earth temperature increase below two degrees Celsius, says a draft text for an international agreement to limit climate change obtained by Dow Jones Newswires Friday.

U.S. may be subject to another provision.

Draft texts are emerging from a meeting of world leaders at the United Nations-sponsored conference on climate change, in a last-minute effort to hammer out a deal after two weeks of inconclusive talks by lower officials.
