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). Parts of Africa would see water shortages, as would Asian and South American zones fed by mountain glacier melt. Crop yields would decline across the tropics; Europe would see an increase in heat waves, he said.
