Global Warming Twice as Bad as Thought

Last Wednesday Kevin Drum posted a Chart of the Day. Global warming is twice as bad as we though even 3 years ago. "The carbon sinks are saturating, and the amplifying feedbacks are worse than previously thought."

"To repeat, on our current emissions path, we have a 9% chance of an incomprehensibly catastrophic warming of 7°C by century’s end, but less than a 1% chance of under 3°C warming."
