Adapting to the inevitable

As a consequence, the Kyoto target itself
does relatively little to combat the rate of climate
change. The warming expected by 2050,
without any deliberate mitigation, is estimated
by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) at 1.4 °C with respect to
the 1961-90 average. About 0.25 °C of this
has already been realized by the 1990s. Our
model predictions suggest that fully implemented
Kyoto targets would reduce this global
warming by 2050 only by about 0.05 °C.
Even more radical targets, such as a 20 per
cent reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions
from annex 1 countries, would reduce it by
only a further 0.1 °C by 2050.
