Scientists can predict with increasing accuracy how the climate will respond to rising levels of pollution in the atmosphere. In 2007 the IPCC highlighted the scientific predictions about the impacts of climate change over the next 50 to 100 years, revealing a world in which billions of people will be at risk. Sub-Saharan Africa, large river delta areas in parts of Asia, small island states and the Arctic regions are likely to be particularly vulnerable.
