The climate impacts map
In order to understand more about what the human impact of high-end climate change might be, and, therefore, what would happen if a successful agreement can not be reached at Copenhagen, the Met Office Hadley Centre has produced a map outlining some of the impacts that may occur if the global average temperature rises by 4 °C (7 °F) above the pre-industrial climate average.
