We're killing our species faster than we thought.

NASA Study: Climate Sensitivity Is High So 'Long-Term Warming Likely To Be Significant' (Click on this link to read more)

Yet another new study finds the climate's sensitivity to carbon pollution is on the high side. That means, absent rapid reductions in greenhouse gases, global warming is likely to be high enough to destroy a livable climate.
.
This is consistent with a January Nature study on climate sensitivity, which found we are headed toward a "most-likely warming of roughly 5°C [9°F] above modern [i.e. current] temperatures or 6°C [11°F] above preindustrial" temperatures this century.
.
This finding is also consistent with paleoclimate data (see "Last Time CO2 Levels Hit 400 Parts Per Million The Arctic Was 14°F Warmer!"). Also, this study is consistent with other recent observation-based analyses (see "Observations Support Predictions Of Extreme Warming And Worse Droughts This Century").
