Carbon Emissions Could Impact Climate over Centuries to Millennia

The study suggests that amplified and prolonged warming due to unabated fossil fuel burning raises the probability that large ice sheets such as the Greenland ice sheet will melt, leading to significant sea level rise. (Credit: © Martin Schwan / Fotolia)
Future warming from fossil fuel burning could be more intense and longer-lasting than previously thought.  This prediction emerges from a new study that includes insights from episodes of climate change in the geologic past to inform projections of human-made future climate change.
