RTCC: Africa could face an onslaught of crop failures, diseases and extreme weather events as a result of global warming, a UN panel of scientists is likely to warn later this week. The findings will be discussed at a meeting of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in Yokohoma, Japan, before their final approval and publication on March 31. Millions could be affected as a result of coastal and urban flooding, while fresh water resources in the west and south are expected to become...

Blue and Green: Climate change will hit crop yields in temperate and tropical regions earlier than first thought, a new study has found. The study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, warns that global warming of only 2C is likely to reduce yields of staple crops as early as the 2030s. Researchers from the University of Leeds analysed the results of 1,700 published studies of the impact that climate change will have on the yields of rice, maize and wheat. In 2007, a report from the Intergovernmental...

Research by a team from University of Leeds published today in Nature Climate Change predicts that climate change will lead to reduced crop yields earlier than previous models have shown. Scientists have long warned that climate impacts such as droughts...
