by Casey on February 2nd, 2007
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said temperatures were probably going to increase by 1.8-4C (3.2-7.2F) by the end of the century.
It also projected that sea levels were most likely to rise by 28-43cm, and global warming was likely to influence the intensity of tropical storms.
The findings are the first of four IPCC reports to be published this year .

A survey by the group found that 150 climate scientists personally experienced political interference in the past five years, for a total of at least 435 incidents.
