"Climate change could have very serious impacts on growth and development. If no action is taken to reduce emissions, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere could reach double its pre-industrial level as early as 2035, virtually committing us to a global average temperature rise of over 2'C. In the longer term, there would be more than a 50% chance that the temperature rise would exceed 5'C. This rise would be very dangerous indeed; it is equivalent to the change in average temperatures from the last ice age to today. Such a radical change in the physical geography of the world must lead to major changes in the human geography where people live and how they live their lives." http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/media/8A8/C1/Summary_of_Conclusions.pdf
Who better to make sense of these changes than Geographers?
