Climate change is occurring far faster than the predictions of the world's best scientists, a new report has warned.
According to the report, "extreme weather events" will happen more frequently unless action is taken on a global scale to combat global warming, leading British newspaper 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.
The report from the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has also predicted massive crops failures and the collapse of eco-systems on both land and sea.
The agency has clearly pointed out that global warming could result in rapid and abrupt climate change rather than the gradual changes forecast by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The report, titled 'Climate Change: Faster, stronger, sooner', WWF claims, has updated all the scientific data and concluded that global warming is accelerating far beyond the IPCC's forecasts.  more
