PARIS (AFP) – The planet could warm by seven degrees Celsius (10.8 degrees Fahrenheit) and sea levels could rise by more than a metre (3.25 feet) by 2100, scenarios that just two years ago were viewed as improbable, scientists said on Tuesday.
In the widest overview on global warming since a landmark report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report in 2007, the authors said manoeuvering room for tackling the carbon crisis was now almost exhausted.
The 64-page "Copenhagen Diagnosis" aims at the December 7-18 UN conference in Denmark, tasked with forging a planet-wide deal on greenhouse-gas emissions.
"This is a final scientific call for climate negotiators from 192 countries who must embark on the climate protection train in Copenhagen," said Hans Schellnhuber, director of Germany's Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), which oversaw the paper.
"They need to know the stark truth about global warming and the unprecedented risks involved," he said.
The scientists billed the summary as "an interim scientific evaluation" between the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report, known as AR4, and its next big handbook, due in 2013. Several authors were part of that Nobel-winning group.
New evidence published in peer-reviewed scientific literature suggests many of the estimates published in 2007 are too low, the "Copenhagen Diagnosis" suggested.

Somebody hasn’t been paying attention......
The March toward Hopenhagen continues.. CRU or
Not.
LOL, they must have added back in the current temperatures several times! I say it will be 15 degrees and 3 meters, so there!
Bunk!
Which “scientists” said this? That’s a good list to begin congressional investigations with.
Just Say Nopenhagen. :-)
Cat’s outta the bag...these envirofreaks got more nerve than a bum tooth!
Apparently, no one recognizes that this means that the science is not exactly "settled".
When predictions change wildly, lots of folks think that conditions have changed.
Some of us think that the predictors are defective...
Oh yeah and the Easter Bunny flies at sundown!

Bull Obama. Those loons are so very stupid that they could well serve in the Kenyan Kabinet of Kooks.
I pray that this “committee” leaves science to real physicists.
Doesn’t seem to matter to them that global temps have been stable or declining for the past ten years which has blown apart their models, nor does it matter that the data their models were based on was fraudulent in the first place. They just keep pulling dire global warming predictions out of their arse and expect us to believe it......LOL!
Any civilization that can't adapt to a 3 foot rise over 90 years probably doesn't deserve to survive.
Just as I said. The globull warming alarmists will continue on as if the Climate Research Unit emails were never released.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fake but true!
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” This fraud has been exposed.
Just like little children; when the left gets caught in a lie they get louder and more strident.
Be neat if the sea levels rise to the point like they were a long time ago when even West Texas was basically ocean front.
It would be neat to just drive an hour to the ocean or something...lol
