[Phys-l] Scientists Detail Climate Changes, Poles to Tropics




BRUSSELS, April 6 — From the poles to the tropics, the earth’s climate and
ecosystems are already being shaped by the atmospheric buildup of greenhouse
gases and face inevitable, possibly profound, alteration, the world’s leading
scientific panel on _climate change_
(http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/science/topics/globalwarming/index.html?inline=nyt-classifier) said Friday.
In its most detailed portrait of the effects of climate change driven by
human activities, the panel predicted widening droughts in southern Europe and
the Middle East, sub-Saharan Africa, the American Southwest and Mexico, and
flooding that could imperil low-lying islands and the crowded river deltas of
southern Asia. It stressed that many of the regions facing the greatest risks
were among the world’s poorest.
