the mean surface temperature of earth is predicted to increase by ________ in the future.
1.1°c - 1.4°c
0.8°c - 1.1°c
6.4°c - 10.3°c
1.1°c - 6.4°c

Explanation:

According to climate change research and IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports, the predicted range for the increase in Earth's mean surface temperature in the future (by the end of the 21st century, depending on emission scenarios) is \(1.1^{\circ}C - 6.4^{\circ}C\). The lower end (\(1.1^{\circ}C\)) might be in a very - low - emission scenario, and the higher end (\(6.4^{\circ}C\)) could be in a high - emission scenario.

Answer:

\(1.1^{\circ}C - 6.4^{\circ}C\)
