Growing populations and surging carbon consumption, particularly in China and India, will mean that the amount of carbon waste being produced is likely to increase over the next eighty-five years, as it has increased over recent decades. Feedback dynamics in the global climate system will likely raise temperatures even faster. Melting permafrost in Canada and Siberia will significantly increase atmospheric carbon dioxide and potentially increase warming by up to 80 percent. 3
