Our not-to-distant future relatives could be in for a rough ride even if we manage to curb our carbon emissions, a new study suggests.
A new study predicts Earth could warm by 7°C by 2200, even with moderate CO2 emissions, leading to flooding, famine, and catastrophic heatwaves. The study used a new computer model to simulate future global warming scenarios, finding that peak warming may be higher than previously expected. Achieving the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting warming to below 2°C is becoming increasingly difficult.
