How are temperatures in the lower atmosphere likely to change as CO2 levels continue to increase?
What will be an ideal response?
Likely temperature increase will be in the range of 2°C to 4.5°C (3.5°F to 8.1°F). The increase is "very unlikely" (1 to 10 percent probability) to be less than 1.5°C (2.7°F), and values higher than 4.5°C (8.1°F) cannot be excluded.
