The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has predicted an average global rise in temperature of 1.4° Celsius (2.5° F to 5.8 between 1990 and 2100. Current estimates indicate that even if successfully and completely implemented, the Kyoto Protocol will reduce that increase by somewhere between 0.02 °C and 0.28 °C by the year 2050. The United States, although a signatory to the protocol, has neither ratified nor withdrawn from the protocol. Source: http://phoenix.liu.edu/~uroy/externalities/emmisions101802.gif |
