The study is selected as the cover article of Issue No. 8 of Advances in Atmospheric Sciences in 2018. The levels of future global warming relative to the pre-industrial period have been extensively addressed, in which 2 C and 1.5 C warming have attracted the most attention. A special report 'Turn Down the Heat: Why a 4°C Warmer World must be Avoided' by the World Bank in 2012 described a 4 C warmer world with significant changes in mean and extreme climates on the basis of earlier-generation climate models and emission scenarios.
