(Phys.org)—A pair of researchers has found that an estimate made in 1990 by a team of global scientists regarding how much temperatures would rise due to increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, is very close ...
Climate modeling based upon Earth's current greenhouse gas emissions trajectory predicts a worst-case scenario of 4.3°C warming of the planet by 2100 if sufficient measures are not implemented. While the Paris Climate Agreement ...
A new study has revealed that the language used by the global climate change watchdog, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is overly conservative – and therefore the threats are much greater than the Panel's ...
