A rise, of 4C by the end of the century, would cause droughts across Africa, and a fall in harvests of 15% to 35%. Globally, crop
yields would fall 10%.Sea levels would rise by up to 59cm, with Bangladesh and
Vietnam among the worst hit, along with coastal cities such as New York, London, Tokyo, Kolkata and Karachi. In Britain alone,
there would be 1.8 million people at risk of flooding. The western Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets would begin to melt
irreversibly and Europe would lose 80% of its Alpine glaciers. Across the Arctic, half of the tundra is at risk.
A 4C rise is predicted to drive 20% to 50% of land species to extinction and put 80m more Africans at risk of malaria as
mosquitoes thrive.
