This article appeared in anti-global-warming news outlet Breitbart. I'm sure the deniers will dismiss this report as part of the conspiracy led by Al Gore.
in reference to:"Even if countries achieve their goals of cutting greenhouse gas emissions, the global average temperature will rise by around 3.5 C by the end of the century from the pre-Industrial Revolution level, way over the 2.0 C called for in an international accord, a research report says. The report compiled recently by Dutch research firm Ecofys estimates that annual greenhouse gas emissions will reach around 57 billion tons per year in 2020 unless nations set more ambitious reduction targets, compared with the 40 billion to 44 billion tons considered necessary to limit the increase in average temperature to 1.5 C or 2.0 C. Last month, 26 nations agreed at a U.N. climate conference to keep the rise in global temperature below 2 C above the pre-Industrial Revolution level in the Copenhagen Accord, which has no biding power."
