LOL!
Remember that the "scientists" predicted that the East Coast would be underwater by the year 2000 also. And of course they were 100% wrong.
But anyway...if TWO WHOLE DEGREES has you shaking in your boots with fear...
The report goes on to say this:
"even if humans suddenly stopped burning fossil fuels now, Earth will continue to heat up about two more degrees by 2100"
In other words...humans can't change anything.
BUT THEN...the story goes on to contradict itself and says this:
"Clearly the US leaving the Paris Agreement would make the 2 C or 1.5 C targets even harder to achieve than they currently are"
So let me get this straight:
The Earth is supposedly going to warm up by 2 degrees in 83 years.
And there is NOTHING we can do about it.
BUT...at the same time...the U.S. pulling out of the Paris Accords makes it "even harder" to stop it?
WTF!?!?!??!
How the hell anybody can believe this kind of silly shit is beyond me.

Interesting how you read an article and take what you want from it. It amuses me that those who should be the most concerned are often those in the most denial. It also amuses me that anyone working online is linking to a clickbait article, probably why you voted Trump I'd presume, ripe cherry for propaganda.
The earth is warming at an expedited rate, humans are adding to the speed of that increased warming. As best we can tell the major cause of that is the burning of fossil fuels. Its been said that we can add another 2c in the next 100 years based on our current fossil fuel usage.
And 2+2 = 4
Four degrees Celsius does not sound a lot but that just happens to be 39.2 Fahrenheit.
And while we would all love it to be a little hotter, plants don't most will only grow in a range of +/- 10f, anything more or less and the crop is fucked.
And that will be especially important in countries like the USA, because your biggest exports are.. Soyabeans and Cotton.
And as a country of bean farmers and cotton pickers that should be triggering alarm bells as to how you can slow that warming.
