The ‘Four Degrees’ chart seems to imply that MILLIONS WILL DIE if it gets warmer. Did I miss something or did leave out the positive things that would result from a warmer climate? Like crop yields in places like central U.S.? Perhaps the Guardian should come up with a map showing that MILLIONS WILL DIE if it gets colder – proving the MILLIONS WILL DIE no matter what happens. Typical British tabloid journalism.
