Author gives a summary of research published in Nature about global warming. Main point is that "global warming will likely fall well short of current highest predictions," noting that even an increase of 11 degrees is unlikely. Though the story reports that some increase is likely, it doesn't say how big the increase will be, and doesn't acknowledge that a recent report in Science suggests that an increase of 4 degrees could lead to a 3' rise in ocean levels.
