Climate change 'disaster by 2026'
Dangerous levels of climate change could be reached in just over 20 years if
nothing is done to stop global warming, a WWF study has warned.
At current rates, the earth will be 2C above pre-industrial levels some time between 2026 and 2060, says the report by Dr Mark New of Oxford University.

Dr New said: "A very robust result from global climate models is that warming due to greenhouse gases will reduce the amount of snow and ice cover in the Arctic, which will in turn produce an additional warming as more solar radiation is absorbed by the ground and the ocean."
