However climate scientists agree that current national emissions targets collectively will still not achieve this goal. Instead, the 'ambition gap' between climate science and climate policy is likely to lead to average global warming of around four degrees Celsius by or before 2100. If a 'Four Degree World' is the \u003ci\u003ede facto \u003c\/i\u003egoal of policy, we urgently need to understand what this world might look like. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFour Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World \u003c\/i\u003eoutlines the expected consequences of this world for Australia and its region.
