Sea level rise

Worldwide temperature increase of up to 5.4 degrees

Increasingly horrific weather patterns

Displacement of billions from low lying countries, like Bangladesh

Ocean acidity levels to rise 150 percent

More than half of shell-building organisms along California’s near shore coastal waters will be unable to maintain their protective armor

Excess U.S. annual summer deaths due to extreme heat events projected to reach up to 3,190 to 4,748.
