Study Warns of Global Temperature Rise

A new study says global warming is increasing at a higher rate than previously thought. The United Nations Environment Program says researchers now predict the planets temperature will rise 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century even if the most ambitious proposals to address climate change are enacted. The temperature rise is two times higher than what scientists have previously identified as the maximum humans can afford to avert a climate disaster.
