  TORONTO -- Researchers studying climate change at McGill University say they have projected a more precise window of when the Earth will likely cross “dangerous warming levels,” with their new threshold set at 2027-2042 – 25 years earlier than previous modelling. The study, published in “Climate Dynamics,” uses historical data that reduces prediction uncertainties by about 50 per cent compared with the current modelling being used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change...

 E-Mail The threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042 - a much narrower window than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes estimate of between now and 2052. In a study published in Climate Dynamics, researchers from McGill University introduce a new and more precise way to project the Earths temperature. Based on historical data, it considerably reduces uncertainties compared to previous approaches. Scientists have been making projections of f...

12-21-2020 By Earth.com staff writer Scientists at McGill University have determined that the threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042. This is a much narrower window than the previous IPCC estimate of between 2020 and 2052.  Using a new method for projecting Earth’s temperature, the researchers have reduced some of the uncertainties surrounding future warming.  The climate models that are used to project future tem...
