"I think the global warming project media budget should be 10 times as high," he said.
In 2009, in preparation for the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP15) in Copenhagen, DBT organized the Worldwide Views on Global Warming project in which 4000 randomly selected citizens from 38 countries generated and then voted on questions that should be presented to policymakers in Copenhagen.
And then as the months past, she got a call from Al Gore who was working on his global warming project An Inconvenient Truth.
If these strategies became widespread, the researchers calculate, the amount of global warming in 2050 would be reduced by about one degree Fahrenheit, roughly a third of the warming projected if nothing is done.
Recalling the perils of single-study syndrome, it's still important to note a new study that appears to go a long way toward narrowing the extent of possible warming projected well into this century from the buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Figueres endorsed these findings, saying: "The [pledges - known as Intended Nationally Determined Contributions] have the capability of limiting the forecast temperature rise to around 2.7C by 2100, by no means enough but a lot lower than the estimated four, five or more degrees of warming projected by many prior to the INDCs".
She added: "The INDCs have the capability of limiting the forecast temperature rise to around 2.7C by 2100, by no means enough but a lot lower than the estimated four, five, or more degrees of warming projected by many prior to the INDCs".
Weiss said the lesser degree of warming projected by the IPCC reflects a moderate scenario.
That number is "by no means enough," executive secretary of the UNFCCC Christiana Figueres said in a release, "but a lot lower than the estimated four, five, or more degrees of warming projected by many prior to the INDCs".
"The INDCs have the capability of limiting the forecast temperature rise to around 2.7 degrees Celsius by 2100, by no means enough but a lot lower than the estimated four, five, or more degrees of warming projected by many prior to the INDCs," Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN's climate agency, said in a statement with the report.
The authors estimate that such a reduction would be equivalent to seasonally offsetting around 20% of the warming projected to occur in those regions by 2100.
