Guardian: Rising sea levels, extremes of weather and an increase in the frequency of droughts and floods will all play havoc with the world's energy systems as climate change takes hold, a new report has found.

But they will also suffer as global warming picks up pace, as generators from nuclear reactors to coal-fired...
