[News] The Copenhagen Diagnosis: Sobering Update on the Science

[Michaelangelica]

Ahead of talks in Copenhagen, a group of leading climate scientists has issued a new report summarizing the most recent research findings from around the world and concluding that scientists have underestimated the pace and extent of global warming.

 

The report — titled “The Copenhagen Diagnosis” — finds that in several key areas observed changes are outstripping the most recent projections by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and warns that “there is a very high probability of the warming exceeding 2 °C unless global emissions peak and start to decline rapidly” within the next decade.

Have you noticed how many Copenhagen Diagnosis authors are found in the Climategate files?

 

Mann, Alison, Bindoff, Bindschandler, Cox, just to name the first few I've found.
