Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
As per UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2019, how much global temperature will rise by 2100?
A
3.2 degree Celsius
B
5.7 degree Celsius
C
3.9 degree Celsius
D
2.6 degree Celsius
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Results from a wide range of climate model simulations suggest that our planet’s average temperature could be between 2 and 9.7°F (1.1 to 5.4°C) warmer in 2100 than it is today. The main reason for this temperature increase is carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping “greenhouse” gases that human activities produce.

Detailed explanation-2: -The unlikelihood of achieving this far steeper rate of decarbonization means the world faces a global temperature increase that will rise above 1.5°C. Every fraction of additional warming above 1.5°C will bring worsening impacts, threatening lives, food sources, livelihoods and economies worldwide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Global GHG emissions from energy remained relatively flat at 37 GtCO2eq in 2019, although data for 2020 1 show an unprecedented 6% decline as the COVID-19 pandemic slashed global energy demand.
