Most estimates predict climate change will increase average global surface temperatures by 1.5 to 4.5°C (or 2.7 to 8.1°F) by the end of the century, but new research, published this week in the journal Nature, suggests there is a less than one in 40 chance global warming will exceed 4°C. While it looks like we may be saved from the worst-case scenario, these findings should not be used as an excuse to abandon our climate commitments, the researchers warn.
