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.

Doesn’t make sense. When ice melts in a glass, the water doesn’t rise or overflow. I wonder what physics they are using.
Is AP a news source?

This story is pure crap! There never has been a bigger fraud that worked to well, for so long, and taken in as many sheeple as the fraud of Global Warming. It is over, and the facts about how it was done are out there.
Yeah, and monkeys could fly out of my butt...
The most dangerous gas on the planet, is the gas that is exhaled by these manipulative climate control gurus. Can’t we put them on a ship in the Indian Ocean and notify the Somali pirates so they can hold them for ransom in perpetuity.
I predicted this ten years ago. I set up my model with a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer....allowed it to warm to room temperature, then quickly took it to a outdoor temperature. I then proceeded to drink twelve beers in a row...and noted that the temperature difference was more than 3 degrees by the last beer. Using this theory.....referred to in Swedish circles...as the “dozen-beer” theory...I’ve proven global warming is happening all the time. Well...I’d like to prove it scientifically but for some reason...I’m always a bit too drunk by the last beer to write the paper required.
Yoo-hoo!
A 7C rise is 12.6 F
They must have seen Algore digging for that 2 million degree earth interior on his farm in Tennessee.
Water expands when it is frozen. Shouldn’t the sea levels drop if the ice caps melt?
We are headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Old Testament, real wrath of God type stuff.
Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies!
Rivers and seas boiling!
Forty years of darkness!
Earthquakes, volcanoes!
The dead rising from the grave!
Human sacrifice!
Dogs and cats living together!
Mass hysteria!
"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."
That would hold true for water-based ice; but not land based ice.
I swear - this stuff is starting to sound more like Dr. Evil every friggin’ day.
If you don’t send me 1 BILLION Dollars, I will melt the polar ice caps with a meteor of hot “Magma”.
Only difference is that Dr. Evil is actually fun to watch. These losers are just pathetic.
I see the AP is still pushing this crap since it was found that this is all been a big con.
If lying doesn’t work, try a larger lie.
This really, really ticks me off! Not only are they (government, UN, media, etc.) ignoring “climategate”, they are doubling down on their lies and deceit! My eyes have been wide open for awhile, but they still never cease to amaze me.
Seem the Warmers figured out they holding a crap hand and have decided to go ‘all in’ instead of folding.
What....this was reported two years ago here:
In about a century, some of the places that make America what it is may be slowly erased.
“Global warming — through a combination of melting glaciers, disappearing ice sheets and warmer waters expanding — is expected to cause oceans to rise by one meter, or about 39 inches. It will happen regardless of any future actions to curb greenhouse gases, several leading scientists say. And it will reshape the nation.”

Oh and this article from 2006 that said what? 20 feet?
“Two international teams report today in the journal Science that Arctic summers by 2100 may be as warm or warmer than they were nearly 130,000 years ago, when sea levels eventually rose up to 20ft higher than today. Such a rise had been thought to be at least 1,000 years away.”
Yahoooooooo! You would think in the age of google, AP would at least choke on these fraudulent hypes!
oh well!
