http://www.gizmag.com Researchers at MIT have continued a study of climate risk and released a new report to show that even moderate carbon-reduction policies can substantially lower the risk of future climate change. It also shows that action is needed quickly if global emissions reductions are to provide a good chance of avoiding a temperature increase of more than 2°C above the pre-industrial level — a widely discussed target. But the researchers determined that failing to take prompt action could result in extreme changes that could become much more difficult, if not impossible, to control.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/act-now-limit-climate-catastrophe/13043/#comment-61690 http://www.gizmag.com/act-now-limit-climate-catastrophe/13043/#comment-61690 Tue, 31 May 2011 09:35:23 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/act-now-limit-climate-catastrophe/13043/#comment-9301 http://www.gizmag.com/act-now-limit-climate-catastrophe/13043/#comment-9301 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:11:20 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/act-now-limit-climate-catastrophe/13043/#comment-9184 http://www.gizmag.com/act-now-limit-climate-catastrophe/13043/#comment-9184 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:42:50 -0500 http://www.gizmag.com/act-now-limit-climate-catastrophe/13043/#comment-9166 http://www.gizmag.com/act-now-limit-climate-catastrophe/13043/#comment-9166 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:19:51 -0500
