UN report warns of global threat to life and livelihood A United Nations report raised the threat of climate change to a whole new level on Monday. It concluded that climate change was already having an effect- melting seaice and thawing permafrosts in the Arctic, killing off coral reefs in the oceans, and leading to heatwaves, heavy rains and mega-disasters. The report said that climate change has already cut into the global food supply: crop yields are beginning to decline, especially for wheat. It pointed out that climate change poses a threat to human security, and could lead to increased migration. Potential shortages of food and water could cause future conflicts. Poor people in poor countries are going to bear the unfair burden of climate change, and existing inequalities are going to get worse.
