Climate News Network: Two scientists urge the world to start reducing greenhouse emissions right now. There's no time to be lost, they argue in Nature Climate Change. Future global temperatures depend on how much carbon dioxide has accumulated in the atmosphere, so as emissions increase, so does the rate of warming. Accumulated CO2 emissions are still able to influence future temperatures.
