Extreme climate risks may hit early: 2C warming could unleash 4C level disasters, study warns

Severe droughts and intense rainfall, usually seen with higher global warming, may happen even with a 2 degrees Celsius rise. This threatens food production, forests, and cities. Current policies point to 2.3 to 2.5 degrees Celsius warming. Researchers found some models show worse drought risks at 2 degrees Celsius than average projections for 4 degrees Celsius.
