A new comprehensive MIT study of the probabilistic projections of climate change in this century found that absent aggressive intervention, warming will likely be about twice as severe as previously estimated by the MIT model six years ago. Overall, they stacked up so they caused more projected global warming. ”. Kicklighter, B.
