Even if global warming is curbed and the increase in global temperature is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius, scientists warn rising CO2 concentrations could still trigger a dangerous increase in extreme weather.
Broadly speaking, more CO2 translates to higher temperatures, but the relationship between atmosphere and climate is complex, and scientists say there are scenarios in which warming could be limited to 1.5 degrees, despite a sizable increase in atmospheric CO2.
New climate models developed by researchers at the University of Bristol and the University of Oxford suggest CO2 levels, not global temperatures, are a better predictor of the most damaging consequences of climate change.
"Future work is needed to confirm exactly why we see this direct CO2 effect, but current research points to a combination of circulation and cloud cover changes, and an increase in the amount of direct radiation on the Earth's surface due to simply having more CO2 in the atmosphere," Huge Baker, a PhD student in physics at Oxford, said in a news release.
In a new study, published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change, scientists argued climate change mitigation agreements need set targets for atmospheric CO2.

I call fake “science”.
How could any rational person believe that increasing the CO2 in our atmosphere from 0.0% to 0.0% could lead to Armageddon?
But Lysenko would be proud...

You mean those balding Neanderthals who’s eyes are so close together that they can see through a keyhole with both of them at the same time? Those “British researchers”?
Not buying it now.
Didn’t buy it a few years back.
Why?
Because a good many of us actually understand the physics courses we took.
And got good grades.
And can make predictions that actually work.
And do not have government grants as our only source of income.
Hot empty air coming out of both ends of Liberals is a major world threat.
How about Liberals putting a cork in both ends and, thus, save the planet?
Oh no! This means trees and crops will grow faster and yield more fruit.
Whatever will we do?
On the UPI site is the usual picture of a power plant with billowing clouds from towers suggesting pollution, when in fact these are hyperbolic cooling towers and the clouds are of course water vapor.
Perhaps I’m warped, but that’s funny!
Simple solution is for the treehuggers to stop procreating.
“OK, all of our old models were complete unadulterated crap, but this new model! oh boy oh boy! It is the REAL model. Yeah. Suuuure. That’s it...”

Hmm, didn’t have an issue more than 100k years ago
A new climate model? Now global warming doesn’t mean higher temperature, just more CO2. Or something.
