: "Humanity has missed its chance of keeping global warming below 1.5C and it will take heroic efforts to stay below 2C this century, the scientist leading the global effort to understand climate change has warned.

Jim Skea, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said a failure to sufficiently curb carbon emissions had left the world on track to warm by 3C by 2100.

This average masks variations between land and sea, with western Europe and the UK facing even greater warming perhaps as much as 5C by the end of the century.

We are potentially headed towards 3C of global warming by 2100, if we carry on with the policies we have at the moment, said Skea.

Obviously temperature rises over land will be higher than over the ocean. We dont know how warm it will get over land but I know it may be more than the global average."
