Climate change is uncertain and it will not spread uniformly across the globe. According to the recent climate map launched at the Science Museum UK, temperature increase of more than 2 degrees will have huge impacts on the world. The land will heat up more quickly than the sea, and high latitudes (particularly the Arctic) will have larger temperature increases.
The focus is being given on water availability, agricultural productivity, extreme temperatures and drought, the risk of forest fire and sea level rise. Agricultural yields are expected to decrease for all major cereal crops in all major regions of production. Half of all Himalayan glaciers will be significantly reduced by 2050, leading to 23% of the population of China being deprived of the vital dry season glacial melt water source.
