Research by the world’s leading scientists suggests that without actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Earth’s surface temperature is likely to rise by 1.0ºC–6.4Cº by the end of this century. Likely outcomes are reduced water availability, more heat waves, fewer frosts, less snowfall, more ...
