The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) report released Wednesday concludes that the outcome of next year's United Nations (U.N.) talks in Paris probably won't put the globe on the path to limiting temperature increases to 2 degrees Celsius. The researchers looked at the major players in the talks...
