The European Union's goal of keeping the global temperature rise to 2 degrees Centigrade is unlikely to be met, a leading climate researcher has warned.  Professor Martin Parry, who co-chairs the impacts working group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), said that millions, if not tens of millions, would be at increased risk to their lives from a rise above 2 degrees Centigrade (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit).

Crop yields would decline across the tropics; Europe would see an increase in heat waves, he said.
