Yet more hysteria: 4 degrees Celsius "likely"

It's All Happening Faster Than We Thought Alert, as the UK Met Office's Hadley Centre cranks up the hysteria with yet another study showing how it's all tracking faster than the IPCC predicted [how does that happen, when the planet has cooled for the last eight years, which wasn't predicted by the IPCC? - Ed]:

Global temperatures may be 4 degrees Celsius hotter by the mid-2050s if current greenhouse gas emissions trends continue, a new study says.

The study, by Britain's Met Office Hadley Centre, echoed a United Nations report last week which found climate changes were outpacing worst-case scenarios forecast in 2007 by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

"Our results are showing similar patterns [to the IPCC] but also show the possibility that more extreme changes can happen," said Debbie Hemming, the co-author of the research which was published at the start of a climate change conference at Oxford University.
