New UN Climate Change Report

There is a new United Nations Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change which predicts more droughts, fires, floods and storms. The report says temperatures will rise by 6.7 degrees, by 2080. If we are wrong, and sea levels rise in coastal cities, where most of the world’s population will be living by 2030, then we could face a risk that is hard to measure in dollars or lives. I am not afraid of forecasting the authentic trends that may hold to disasters such as the environment-at-risk here. The convergence of mega-cities, population growth and extreme climate change simply puts the developing world in harms way in the future.
