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."
