New research suggests the chance of limiting global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius is highly unlikely. According to the latest analysis, there is a 90 percent chance Earth will warm by 2.0 to 4.9 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.
The researchers analyzed the trajectory and impact on global warming of three factors: total world population, GDP per person and carbon intensity, or carbon emitted per dollar of economic activity.
To postulate forward, scientists analyzed the three inputs' effect on global warming over the last 50 years. Their analysis -- published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change -- suggests there is only a 5 percent chance Earth warms by less than 2 degrees.
Researchers found carbon intensity was the most important factor in predicting future warming. As technologies improve and governments curb emissions, carbon intensity has been dropping in many advanced economies over the past few decades. But at the current rate, carbon intensity is unlikely to fall fast enough to prevent significant warming.

“Funny how the cure for ‘Global Warming” just coincidental match a World Communist Government.”
Even funnier is how they cloud the Snowflakes’ education with mindless crap. Otherwise they’d know that communism is murder on the environment.
See the Aral Sea, or just about any place in China.
Uh, what about solar activity? Seems to not have been considered.
Every Sunrise it goes by more than 2 degrees ,well most Sunrises
The temperature varies from day to day many more times than that.
The poles melting
Seacoasts flooding
Small islands disappearing,
No more snow during the winter
Massive famine
Yada...yada...yada all by the year 2000.
Let's see....I'm 73 now...73 + 83 =
Why not say 1 degree by 2050...since millions of now living people will still be alive.
And even so....what the hell are you trying to prove....and what does it prove?? NOTHING...Because no one know what the temperature of the earth should be at any point in time. It's just stupid.
“Funny how the cure for ‘Global Warming” just coincidental match a World Communist Government.”
Funny how the cure for global cooling back in the early 80’s was to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Carbon started to be removed and the earth warmed up. It only makes sense to add carbon to the atmosphere to cool it back down.
This is the left’s own ideology.
“The researchers analyzed the trajectory and impact on global warming of three factors: total world population, GDP per person and carbon intensity, or carbon emitted per dollar of economic activity.”
What an amazing coincidence. That’s the same reasons it also might COOL by two degrees.
"The factually observed solar activity, and it's impact on earth's global temperature is considered when they "adjust" the global mean temperatures in order to analyze trends."
WTH?, you ask. This was an answer I got from a Liberal PHD and avowed MMGW worshiper to your question. Let me try to explain what he tried to sell me. Since our Sun is in a cooling cycle with less radiation activity, it affects the global temperature. So to account for that affect, they add a "correction factor" to the global temperatures in order to maintain a constant when they run the models. I laughed in his face of course and asked how taking the source of temperature out of the global temperature equation makes any sense.
I am pretty sure he was making it up as he went along. But it would not completely surprise me if there was any truth. Think about their logic. This started when I showed him data that the earth had not "warmed" over the last 20 years and he suggested it was because of solar cycles. I thought I was on candid camera.
It’s a good thing Al Gore sold his giant home, Leonardo DiCaprio doesn’t tool around on his yacht the size of a heavy cruiser, and the 0bama clan has stopped the endless jet-setting vacations. I’m pleased the most vocal proponents of combating “climate change” leading by personal example.
Oh wait...none of those things has happened?
Never mind then.
So we will get 2 degrees warmer? That means it will still be cold in the winter.
Lysenkoism has always been around. Galileo and Pastuer would attest to it.
The eternal cycle of life and death on Earth. It is a journey.

The nature which makes the life possible on Earth also has enough power to transform the world drastically. The unprecedented movement of Earth causes many of deadliest natural disasters like Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Volcanic eruptions and landslides. Followings are seven most dangerous natural disasters on Earth.
Or the Kaliningrad SSR, which the USSR used as its toxic waste dump. It was once called “East Prussia.” Now it’s a wasteland and nobody wants it.
Or even better, Chernobyl, and it’s attendant “exclusion zone.”
Inevitable UNLESS we pass a bunch of carbon taxes, right?
But, the Maldives! Oh, the horror!
I think conservatives would be better off to stop arguing whether or not climate change is occurring (the climate is always changing and has always been changing so we will always look foolish arguing that it's not) and instead question loudly why is it that the only CURE for climate change is to transfer hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth to Third World despots annually while allowing China and India unfettered industrial expansion?
Nobody ever reads the fine print. I asked this same question to my Bernie Sanders supporting brother when he asked why conservatives don't believe in climate change. He is an educator and had no idea that the Paris Accords calls for a massive transfer of wealth while hobbling only U.S. manufacturing output. No idea!
