The UN study predicts global temperatures will increase by nearly six degrees Celsius during this century. It says this will lead to increased flooding, drought, a rise in sea levels, and other climatic effects.
What’s more, it says all regions of the world will suffer adverse effects of climate change. The panel's co-chairman, James McCarthy, says some plant and mammals will be irreversibly damaged; others will become extinct.
Mr. McCarthy says millions of people will be made homeless in low-lying countries such as Bangladesh because of sea level rise. Some islands will disappear completely. Economic losses will be incalculable
In addition, the report says crop and water loss will lead to more famine in dry areas of the world, such as Africa.
