Is it too late to stop climate change?
TEMPERATURES could rise by 4C over the next 50 years, according to a shocking new study by British scientists.
The catastrophic temperature rises challenge the widely-held belief that climate change will only affect future generations.
Richard Betts from the Met Office Hadley Centre unveiled a report today that claims global warming is an imminent threat.
He said: “We’ve always talked about these very severe impacts only affecting future generations, but people alive today could live to see a 4C rise.
“People will say it’s an extreme scenario, and it is an extreme scenario, but it’s also a plausible scenario.”
