Climate change understanding so limited, so frightening


O

ur understanding of global warming/climate change (call it what you please) is so limited that it is frightening.

My children, my grandchildren, along with those who follow in your family, could be wrestling to adapt to temperatures hitherto unseen by humanity.

A report in Britain’s Independent says there is a one-in-ten chance of the world being 6C warmer than it is today by 2100 leading to cataclysmic changes in the global climate with unimaginable consequences for human civilisation.

The story - “Global warming: Scientists say temperatures could rise by 6C by 2100 and call for action ahead of UN meeting in Paris” - includes a warning from leading climate researchers in an “Earth Statement”.
