A new study led by James Hansen, a scientist who warned about climate change in the 1980s, argues that IPCC has underestimated climate sensitivity, meaning that a “dangerous” burst of heating will be unleashed due to the continued burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. It predicts that the world will reach 1.5°C of warming by the 2020s and 2°C by 2050, faster than expected.
