MIT report: Unless we change direction, the world will warm 3-5 °C
“2014 Climate and Energy Outlook” finds the world will be warmer, thirstier, and still dependent on fossil fuels unless 2015 climate negotiations are more effective than expected.
Global temperature is likely to rise 3.3-5.6 degrees Celsius by the end of this century, unless international climate negotiations in Paris next year are more effective than expected, according to a report released Monday by the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change. The predicted temperature increase surpasses the threshold identified by the United Nations as necessary to avoid the most serious impacts of climate change, altering precipitation patterns and heightening the pressures of population and economic growth.
