"7-14C is absolutely gobsmackingly insane compared to the previous estimate of 3-4C. And we'll hit the doubling point around 2060 at currently rates of carbon emissions (3-4ppm/year now)"

And that only takes into account WHERE our current emissions stand now, but doesn't include the fact that those emissions are not a static number and are constantly INCREASING year after year.

As with practically every forecast or prediction concerning climate change and the devastating effects we will be suffering from it, this forecast will also happen much sooner, and much more intensely than we are expecting.
