Models show that if we go on with business as usual and fail to address greenhouse gas emissions we can expect average temperatures across the world to rise dangerously. Precisely how much warmer it will get is the subject of huge investigation but the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) gives a range of between 2.4°C and 6.4°C above preindustrial levels by the end of this century. If we don’t take action, scientists believe the most likely point within that range will be a rise of 4°C by the end of this century – that’s enough to produce catastrophic results.
