United Nations climate change predictions challenged by mainstream study - Sott News

in #sott7 years ago

Climate change predictions making alarming claims on Earth's future have been challenged by a new study. Suggestions the planet's surface will warm by 5° Celsius by 2100 are not realistic, according to a team of scientists.

Frightening climate change predictions by the UN would be void if the group from the University of Exeter is correct. Their probe into greenhouse gases pushing up the planet's temperatures found possible end-of-century outcomes to be only half the range found by others.

"Our study all but rules out very low and very high climate sensitivities," said lead author Peter Cox.

Despite the findings, the report, published in the journal 'Nature' made clear that humans' actions on climate change will determine the planet's future. The world must cut methane emissions, CO2 levels and drastically improve energy efficiency.

Researchers and scientists have laid out their predictions - some of which end in Earth's tragic, fiery end. But the truth is, it is not truly known what will happen. The question is: if the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is doubled, how much will that heat up Earth's surface?
