Reuters: Global warming will pressure sovereign credit ratings throughout this century with poorer, lower-rated countries hardest hit, Standard & Poor's (S&P) Ratings Services said in a report.

The report said extreme weather events such as typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 5,000 people in the...
