What are the current predictions of future climate change and what is one possible uncertainty?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Current predictions point to a doubling of the rates of warming over the next 30 years. They predict an overall increase of 1.5° to 4C by 2100. One uncertainty is because future greenhouse gas emissions cannot be accurately predicted. The temperature range takes into account varying increases in greenhouse gas emissions.
