A new study has revealed sensitive regions of the world are still at risk from the dangerous and potentially irreversible effects of climate change; even if we meet the target of not increasing global temperature above 1.5°C over the next 100 years.
The international team of researchers developed a three-dimensional climate-carbon cycle model, and simulated the different climate futures. Dr. Philip Holden, Lecturer in Earth Systems Science at The Open University and lead researcher of the study, said: "The regional uncertainties associated with the Paris Climate Agreement have not been explored before. This is because, until now, researchers have used either very simple models or models that were too complex to investigate the range of possibilities."
New study "Our models show that it is possible to meet the 2015 Paris Agreement, but only if governments take decisive and urgent action through strengthening climate change policies to encourage rapid divestment from fossil fuels," continued Dr. Holden.
Professor Richard Wilkinson, from the University of Sheffield's School of Mathematics and Statistics (SoMaS) and contributing author, said: "By accounting for climate-carbon cycle uncertainties we have been able to show that there is an approximate 50 per cent probability that we can limit peak post-industrial peak global warming to less than 1.6 degrees Celsius.
"This has been made possible by using Gaussian process emulation to find plausible climate trajectories at a fraction of the computational cost."

...in other breaking news...ice and winter are cold...lava and summer are hot!
Have they tried clapping their hands so another fairy gets its wings? That’s a whole lot cheaper and makes more sense than thinking these frauds can change the climate of the earth. They probably can’t even change a tire.

Sod off, swampy!
This is quite annoying. First thing I want to know is who wrote this "report" and what is their agenda? Usually when you look into it, they are part of the "group think" of the kookbat left who wants more power and is using "global warming" as an excuse to get it.
This is like a report from a bunch of F@fggots telling you that normal sex is unhealthy. Sure. Right.
I heard this rumor that every few months, the seasons change.
Global Warming/Climate Change are the red herring used to promote anti-capitalism. The earth will take care of itself without little dictators.
And Bill Nye is not a scientist.
Okay, more jiggered computer "models" focused on weak greenhouse gases like Carbon Dioxide instead of extremely strong greenhouse gases like Methane and Water Vapor.
Utter crap, and I don't even need to read it.
Yes, if you jigger a computer "model" to make carbon dioxide significant, then it will show you what you jiggered it to do.
Go away you lying sacks of Sh*t and don't bother us any more with your efforts to con money and power out of us.
Not again! I thought we were finished with this scam.
Better tell the earth to stop spewing dangerous CO2 and gases from all of the volcanic activity.
That's all I needed to hear.
Mean old America, you better stop being the leading force of energy in the world so we can catch up in the next five hundred years.
Is she out of treatment yet? She was supposed to be saving the World this year.
Typical commie propaganda.
Oh yeah, sure
“Not again! I thought we were finished with this scam.”
Never. It will reside on the pile of “unprovable” empty scams that the RATS will keep running. FAKE NEWS as usual.
Alternative headline:
Dangerous climate change ... has not yet occurred.
Facile & fatuous flights of fancy— easy to say, impossible to prove. We need data, not mights and maybes, not computer projections. Didn’t think so.
