Scientists for the United Nations will soon release a report that predicts floods, drought, economic problems and war. These are just some of the scary consequences if carbon emissions remain in its all-time high.Scientists and government representatives will unveil a 29-page report on March 31 in Yokohama, Japan.”We have a lot clearer picture of impacts and their consequences including the implications for security,” Chris Field of the United States’ Carnegie Institution told the media.The dangers outlined include: the rise of greenhouse-gas emissions will trigger floods mostly in Europe and Asia as they are more exposed, for every 1 degree Celsius rise in temperature, another seven percent of the world’s population will experience decline of renewable water resources by 20 percent and by 2100, “hundreds of millions” of coastal dwellers will banish if we do nothing to prevent it. Small-island states and East, Southeast and South Asia will lose the most land.It is indicated that as climate change destroys habitat of land and freshwater species, a “large fraction” of them will face extinction. These trends will also contribute to a worldwide conflict, as nations compete for declining resources and as hunger and poverty prevail, war is likely to happen.
