The Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, released in 2006, and the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) claim that an increase in temperatures of more than 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above those of preindustrial times could cut GDP by up to 20 percent, force more than a billion people to migrate, make many species extinct, threaten major cities as a result of rising seas, and decrease agricultural yields, putting pressure on food (and fuel) supplies. Major changes in energy production and usage could lower carbon emissions to keep temperatures below that threshold.
