How could the world's climate change over the next 100 years if humans do nothing to limit the levels of their greenhouse gas emissions?

If we do nothing to limit the levels of our greenhouse gas emissions then the present rapid warming would continue, probably exponentially.
The InterGovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s 4th Assessment Report (2007) projects that we will probably reach 4°C warming above pre-industrial age levels by 2100. We will pass the 'danger limit' of 2°C warming by 2050.
Sea levels are also predicted to rise at an accelerated rate. Observed sea levels are actually tracking at the upper range of the IPCC projections. When accelerating ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica are factored in to the projections, the estimated sea level rise by 2100 is between 75cm to 2 metres.

How do greenhouse gas emissions impact change?
Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth. This extra heat is causing global warming, and is changing the climate.
What is the climate change code of behavior that sets binding obligations on countries to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases?
The Kyoto Agreement of 1997.
What is thought to the cause of global climate change?
Greenhouse gases A+
Where in Japan did countries meet to tackle climate change?
In Kyoto, on the island of Honshū, Japan, countries met in December 1997 to establish an agreement to limit the amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. This agreement is known as the Kyoto Protocol.
How does the enhanced greenhouse effect affect the earth's climate?
The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming. Global warming is producing climate change, serious changes in the climate of the earth. See the related question below.
What do Greenhouse Gas Emissions do to the Environment?
Pollute the air.Capture heat radiating up from the surface of the earth.Increasing emissions cause global warming and climate change.
What is being done to save the walrus?
WWF is cutting greenhouse gas emissions to prevent dangerous climate change.
What is the purpose of the climate friendly farming project?
The purpose of the climate friendly farming project is to better understand the connection between climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, and agriculture.
How do greenhouse gas emissions impact change?
Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth. This extra heat is causing global warming, and is changing the climate.
What is the climate change that produces greenhouse gases?
Climate change does not produce greenhouse gasses. It is thought that greenhouse gasses are a major cause of climate change.
What is the climate change code of behavior that sets binding obligations on countries to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases?
The Kyoto Agreement of 1997.
What is President Obama's Climate Change Plan supposed to do?
President Obama's climate change plan is supposed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the development of clean energy technologies. It has three objectives.
How does carbon impact our world?
Carbon emissions especially carbon (IV) oxide from industries increase the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases cause climate change, and it leads to tsunamis, flooding and drought .
What three factors affect climate change in Africa?
greenhouse gas carbon dioxide emissions (burning oil, coal, wood)greenhouse gas methane emissions (decomposing waste, fracking, agricultural practices)deforestation (trees cut down for fuel)
Are climate and weather short term changes in earths greenhouse effect?
Weather is a short term change to the climate, but not to the greenhouse effect. Climate is a long term change to the weather (but not to the greenhouse effect).
Why are fossil fuels not a good choice as a primary source of energy?
Too much greenhouse gas emissions, causing global warming and climate change. We need to change to renewable energy for everything.
What things exist today to address climate change?
The Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement to cut emissions of greenhouse gases.National laws like Clean Air Acts and Carbon Pricing.The determination of millions of people to stop global warming and climate change.
