UN: Climate change will hit poor

Apr. 6 - Top climate experts have issued their bleakest forecasts yet about global warming.

A United Nations report released on Friday by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says climate change is already having a major impact on the planet. It is estimated hundreds of millions of Africans and tens of millions of Latin Americans will face severe water shortages in twenty years. Death rates among the world's poor from global-warming related illnesses will also rise.
