Leaked draft of top climate change report predicts bleak future

Starvation, poverty, flooding, heatwaves, droughts, war and disease are likely to worsen as the world warms from man-made climate change, a leaked draft of an international scientific report forecasts.

The Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will issue a report next March on how global warming is already affecting the way people live and what will happen in the future, including a worldwide drop in income.
