The United Nations body focused on climate change is set to release a new report about the relationship between climate change and land on Thursday, including how warming temperatures impact agriculture and food security around the world.
Zeke Hausfather, an analyst will the non-profit research group Berkeley Earth, said it's important to look at the impact of climate change on land separately from global averages since that's where people will be impacted the most. Berkeley Earth's analysis of land-surface temperatures over the last 250 years found that those temperatures have increased about 1.5 degrees Celsius in the same time period, with about 0.9 degrees of that warming occurring in the last 50 years.
Hausfather said that while most of the focus in the U.S. tends to be on domestic impacts of climate change, it's the countries that contribute less greenhouse gases that are the most impacted by the warming climate through drought, increased heat stress or flooding from sea-level rise.
