module 10: what evidence do we have of climate change
... There was no accurate measurement of air temperature until the 17 th Century. To know what was happening before 1850, we have to rely on what things like tree rings, fossils, and the gases trapped in ice cores tell us about local temperatures. This information is much less precise, and much less glo ...

Global Warming Can Be Stopped, World Climate Experts Say John
... Metz explained at the briefing. Stabilization at the high end of the range—710 parts per million—would see a temperature rise as high as 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Celsius) and allow greenhouse gas emissions to increase 10 to 60 percent by 2050. This scenario would blunt GDP by about 0.06 per ...
