2009Oct22: UK Government and Met Office map illustrates climate change impacts (i.e., Amazon rainforest, forest fires, crops, water availability, sea level rise, marine, drought, permafrost, tropical cyclones, extreme temperatures, health, carbon cycle) that may occur if the global average temperature rises by 4°C above the pre-industrial climate average (Met Office).
