Information: + The change in the global surface temperature between 1850 and the end of the 21st Century is likely to exceed 1.5°C, most simulations suggest. (Most simulations show that global surface temperature change from 1850 to the end of the 21st century is likely to exceed 1.5°C.) → A is correct + The UN is leading a political effort to stabilize greenhouse-gas emissions for as long as we continue to emit greenhouse gases, temperatures will continue to rise.
