As hot as it has been this summer and fall in the U.S., I'm sure some of us are wondering it that increase has already occurred!http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/09/100929083513.htm
ScienceDaily (Sep. 29, 2010) — A global temperature increase of up to 4.2 º C and the end of coral reefs could become reality by 2100 if national targets are not revised in the Copenhagen Accord, the international pledge which was agreed at last year's Copenhagen's COP15 climate change conference.
Just ahead of the next United Nations Climate Change Conference, which starts on 4 October in Tianjin, China, a new report published Sept. 29 in IOP Publishing's Environmental Research Letters describes how, due to lack of global action to date, only a small chance remains for keeping the global temperature increase down to 2 º C as set as a target in the Accord.
