Since the industrial revolution, humans have increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by nearly 50% from 280ppm to 418ppm. This has increased the earth’s temperature by at least 1.1º since 1880. Humans continue emitting CO2 and other GHGs; what will this do to the earth’s temperature? We will investigate the five future scenarios used by the IPCC in their latest assessment report. These scenarios range from an aggressive response to decrease emissions, to business-as-usual. We will see what the likely climate outcomes might be – from mild to severe. Includes the latest research on how Japan’s climate may change.(101 words)
