The data we currently have predicts between
1.4-5.8 and is based on estimates of global population between 7-15 billion people.
Thats the official data and it's not as certain as many would like to make it.

- lozenge 9y agoYour range of 1.4C would involve drastic changes - the report mentions this as "including all SRES".
- ThomPete 9y agoNot "we're doomed" changes.
- lozenge 9y agoNo, I meant that the estimate of 1.4C is the lower end of temperatures given drastic changes to emissions are made - and since your link is from ten years ago, I can already tell you those drastic changes were not made.
- ThomPete 9y agoNeither did the temperature changes they thought would happen, happen in fact the never reports tone down the temperature not up.
- lozenge 9y agoThey never claimed to be able to predict the temperature for a particular decade.
- ThomPete 9y agoNo but you and others speak of it as if they did. That's the point and was what I was saying. So claiming there is a certain temperature thats relevant instead of the truth which is there is a range of potential temperatures some of them not as problematic is the right way to think about the problem.
