Billions of people will suffer from 'unavoidable climate hazards'

The planet now faces “unavoidable multiple climate hazards over the next two decades” because of human-induced climate change, exacerbating the already “dangerous and widespread disruption” to nature and billions of people.

Those are just some of the grim conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN body of assembled scientists tasked with examining the impact of incontrovertible global warming.
