It's important to note that even Rahmstorf's more realistic numbers are, almost certainly an uncerstatement, in that he's working with warming estimates that don't factor in postiive feedbacks. It is now clear that there are at least 12 feedback loops which will make warming more intense than predicted. The likelihood of these feedback loops occurring ranges from certain (massive methane releases from tundra have already been observed) to possible, though all are plausible. I believe it's time to broaden the range of warming beyond the IPCCs -- their high end warming of 5.8 degrees is closer to the best we can hope for absent immediate and drastic action to curtail GHG emissions. Still, it's good to see reports like this -- we need to see research that goes beyond consensus-based reports like the IPCC. In the end, reality does not care if we agreed upon the wrong figures. Prudence argues we consider and act as if the plausible worst case forecast were what we had to face. Thanks Dr. Romm.
