Even if carbon dioxide emissions came to a sudden halt, the carbon dioxide already in Earth's atmosphere could continue to warm our planet for hundreds of years, according to Princeton University-led research published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study suggests that it might take a lot less carbon than previously thought to reach the global temperature scientists deem unsafe.
The researchers simulated an Earth on which, after 1,800 billion tons of carbon entered the atmosphere, all carbon dioxide emissions suddenly stopped. Scientists commonly use the scenario of emissions screeching to a stop to gauge the heat-trapping staying power of carbon dioxide. Within a millennium of this simulated shutoff, the carbon itself faded steadily with 40 percent absorbed by Earth's oceans and landmasses within 20 years and 80 percent soaked up at the end of the 1,000 years.
Why is it that these GW people say that temps will only rise about 2 degrees C in the next hundred years now saying it's going to be worse?
How much worse is it going to be 1 degree C?
Sorry folks but a couple degrees isn't going to matter.
Even if emissions stop, carbon dioxide could warm Earth for centuries

Review Chapter 12 of AR5's WG-I (IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
The difference between the height of the little ice age and today is around 2c.
The difference between those mile high glaciers over Chicago and looking up at them on staten island is around 8c.
2c in 100 years is a oh shit moment!

the leaked report makes the extraordinary concession that over the past 15 years, recorded world temperatures have increased at only a quarter of the rate of IPCC claimed when it published its last assessment in 2007.
Back then, it said observed warming over the 15 years from 1990-2005 had taken place at a rate of 0.2C per decade, and it predicted this would continue for the following 20 years, on the basis of forecasts made by computer climate models.
But the new report says the observed warming over the more recent 15 years to 2012 was just 0.05C per decade - below almost all computer predictions.

I have to wonder what else the IPCC is wrong about.

2c in 100 years is a oh shit moment!
Chicken Little lives.
Tell me exactly what will happen. You can't. You can't even say with any certainty that the 2 degree prediction is accurate.
The fact that the GW crowd keeps upping the ante tells me they don't know what's going to happen. But the more they scare you the more you can be controlled.

Does it make you comfortable knowing that we can't predict all the effects? If so, why?

Because you people are using dubious predictions to impose controls on millions of people
AGW is a farce just like Obama is for hope and change.
CO2 does not drive climate, never has.
