Christopher Wolf also noted that temperature changes of even a few degrees can pose a significant threat to humanity. Professor Tim Lenton from the University of Exeter in the UK added that "humanity does not necessarily have to face the greenhouse effect to be at risk — dangers will exist even with a temperature rise of 3°C."
According to scientists' forecasts, if the temperature rises by 3-4°C, it could significantly disrupt the functioning of the economy and society as we know them. The authors of the article warn that the climate of a "greenhouse Earth" will be much harsher than even with a slight increase in temperature.
