+3ºC by 2050?!

In this Climate Chat episode, Climate Chat hosts Dan Miller and Leon Simons discuss recent report from the German Meteorological Society and Physical Society that says that a warming of +3ºC (+5.4ºF) is possible by 2050. This is significantly more the IPCC and many other climate scientists say. As we will discuss, when it comes to existential threats, we must assume the worse and hope for the best.
