CO2-Emission

The September announcement of the Inter-governmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), paints a grim picture of the Earth’s future climate system. Global surface temperatures likely to exceed 1.5° C and pass beyond the threshold of 2° C, with the worst scenario projecting an increase of up to 4.8° C compared to 1986-2005. Sea level rise in the range of 0.26 to 0.82 m. Heat waves very likely to occur more frequently and last longer. Currently wet regions expected to receive more rainfalls and dry regions less.
