Hopes of mild climate change dashed by new research

Planet could heat up far more than hoped as new work shows temperature rises measured over recent decades don't fully reflect global warming already in the pipeline
Hopes that the world's huge carbon emissions might not drive temperatures up to dangerous levels have been dashed by new research.
The work shows that temperature rises measured over recent decades do not fully reflect the global warming already in the pipeline and that the ultimate heating of the planet could be even worse than feared.
