The Guardian recently asked 380 IPCC-affiliated scientists about their predictions for the future. Only 6% believe that the target of no more than 1.5 degrees centigrade warming will be met. 80% expect global warming to be 2.5 degrees, while 50% say that even 3 degrees is possible.
A "semi-dystopian future" is anticipated "with famines, conflicts and mass migration, driven by heatwaves, wildfires, floods and storms of an intensity and frequency far beyond those that have already struck".
