The models are based on human emissions alone, and do not include heat-amplifying
feedbacks from melting ice or changes in carbon sinks. When those are factored in, it
moves the timetable forward so that "reaching four degrees by 2060 is a plausible,
worst-case scenario" with the median being 2070. By 2100, 5.5 degrees is possible,
he said.
If it only includes human emissions and doesn't consider melting hydrates, permafrost decay, or feedbacks, then it isn't even close to the worst case scenario.

Everyone is so afraid to speak the whole truth on this topic because the whole truth is worse than the "alarmists".
