The costs of carbon pollution are clear: decreasing crop yields, more destructive storms, the spreading of tropical diseases to temperate latitudes, rising seas, more climate refugees, failures of governance, increasing floods, deepening droughts, more destructive fires and heat waves -- all contributing to the new reality of the global climate crisis.

Assuming that nothing's done to slow greenhouse emissions, the February report predicted a temperature increase of roughly 3°C toward the end of the century, drying at lower latitudes, more precipitation at higher latitudes, and rising sea levels.
2) The IPCC impacts report speaks of rising precipitation in higher latitudes for at least half a century, while near-tropical areas grow dry.
By then the comet will be a circumpolar object for those in north temperate latitudes, neither rising nor setting, but instead remaining perpetually above the horizon all through the night!
Temperatures in far northern latitudes are rising at twice the rate seen in more temperate zones, melting snow cover, and that could hamper Earth's ability to reflect heat, climate scientists said.
Wheat in the developing countries is expected to suffer most among major crops from rising temperatures in low-latitude countries.
The odds rise in higher latitudes, he added, and fall in lower ones.
About 6 million years ago, as Earth's climate cooled, erosion rates generally rose at all latitudes but increased most notably in mountainous regions.
We hypothesize that a design support tool (DST) focused on the issue of adaptation of mid-latitude cities to rising summer temperatures could help improve knowledge and skills of professionals in the field.
