2013-11-24 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: Carbon dioxide which is already in our atmosphere could continue warming the planet for centuries even if new emissions were entirely halted, scientists claim. A new analysis of future carbon emission scenarios found that it may take significantly fewer emissions for global temperatures to reach unsafe levels than previously thought.
