German scientists warn global warming is accelerating faster than expected, raising the risk of a 3 °C rise by 2050 and forcing Europe to confront unthinkable adaptation plans.
DIE ZEIT: Frank Böttcher, Klaus Richter, the professional associations of meteorologists and physicists in Germany warn that the Earth could have warmed by 3 °C by 2050. That is only 25 years away. Do you really think that is realistic?
KLAUS RICHTER: The risk is increasing that we will miss the goal of keeping global warming below 2 °C. We believe the trend toward a 3 °C rise can no longer be ruled out, especially given current global politics. We therefore call for decisive action and stronger climate protection to minimize this risk.

FRANK BÖTTCHER: We have entered a new stage of climate change: Global warming now appears to be accelerating. We see it in Germany too. The data is so compelling that members of our societies felt they had a duty to speak out, despite all the uncertainty and the usual caution.
