Perilous Pyrrhic Progress: Physics Pulverizes Political Prevarication

Climate scientists warn that Trump's claim about updated UN climate projections is factually wrong. The revised RCP8.5 scenario reflects cheaper clean energy, not a safer climate. New projections still show three to four degrees of warming by 2100, enough to threaten lives across the United States & billions worldwide. Physics, not politics, determines how hot the planet gets, & the urgency to cut emissions to net zero remains as critical as ever.
