Can Earth be saved? Climate change is threatening the world's food supply, according to a UN panel.: Al Jazeera





Report after report have been warning about the dangers of climate change - and that it is happening right now.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has put the minds of more than 100 scientists together.

What they are saying is alarming: Not only are rising temperatures threatening the planet, but so are the world's eating habits.

The way food is farmed is drastically degrading the Earth's land, and scientists predict that is making global warming worse and will lead to food shortages.

So, how will governments respond to this warning?
