U.N. Report Says World Could See 3.1°C Warming by 2100 Without Urgent Action on Climate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations Environment Programme warns that without dramatic
cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, the world will face an inevitable and
catastrophic temperature rise of 3.1° Celsius by the end of the century.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres issued a stark warning as he
announced the findings.

Secretary-General António Guterres: "The message of today's Emissions
Gap Report is clear. We are teetering on a planetary tightrope. Either
leaders bridge the emissions gap, or we plunge headlong into climate
disaster, with the poorest and most vulnerable suffering the most."
