There's a very good reason scientists don't model a 4C rise....;}
4C - Possible with an extremely weak deal
(And LMFu ckingAO, I just figured what 'extemely weak deal' meant....
Copenhagen was WORSE than an extremely weak deal. OBAMA was hustling from one room to another to force his gruel onto the peasants.
The Latest RIO doc doesn't even have numbers/targets.....;}"
At this stage, the Arctic permafrost enters the danger zone. The methane and carbon dioxide currently locked in the soils will be released into the atmosphere.
At the Arctic itself, the ice cover would disappear permanently, meaning extinction for polar bears and other native species that rely on the presence of ice.
Further melting of Antarctic ice sheets would mean a further 5m rise in the sea level, submerging many island nations.
Italy, Spain, Greece and Turkey become deserts and mid-Europe reaches desert temperatures of almost 50C in summer. Southern England's summer climate could resemble that of modern southern Morocco.
You can see Day After Tomorrow for the accurate portrayal....;}

5C and above – Highly unlikely nightmare scenario
NEW NEWS UKGuardian from 2009....;}
With a 5C rise, global average temperatures would be hotter than for 50m years. The Arctic region sees temperatures rise much higher than average – up to 20C – meaning the entire Arctic is now ice-free all year round. Most of the tropics, sub-tropics and even lower mid-latitudes are too hot to be inhabitable. The sea level rise is now sufficiently rapid that coastal cities across the world are largely abandoned. Above 6C, there would be a danger of "runaway warming", perhaps spurred by release of oceanic methane hydrates.
We'll be gone by then.
Ticks, chiggers, cockroaches and skeeters will be looking for any mammal they can find....most likely no bigger than a raccoon.
