New science predicts climate is changing faster than estimated

SCIENTISTS from around the world who met in Copenhagen, Denmark, from March 10 to 12, suggested sea level increase due to global warming could be more than the earlier projections. There is worse news. Forests may not be effective carbon sinks that can save the planet from the negative impacts of temperature rise as they would not be able to absorb any more CO₂.

These and other findings that project higher intensity impacts of climate change were presented by scientists at a three-day conference
