How bad that damage will be is still under debate. <br />The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report left no doubt about the future of the <br />world if we don't slow the rate at which we release heat -trapping gases into the atmosphere. In a word, it's going to <br />get bad. <br />But exactly how bad is still an open question, and a lot depends not only on how we react, but how quickly. The <br />rate at which humans cut down on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—if we do choose to cut them—will have a large <br />bearing on how the world turns out by 2100, the forecasts reveal. <br />Thisrg aphic from the World Resources Institute gives a sense of the dynamics at play. It presents four "emissions <br />pathways," ranging from the very optimistic to the highly pessimistic. <br />City of Redwood City Climate Action Plan <br />
