Niger Delta

Even though Africa accounts for less than 4% of the world's annual greenhouse gas emissions, they bare a lot of the burden. Here are some ways the International Panel on Climate Control Change, the IPCC, predict what will happen to Africa:

1. Farming will be harder-higher temperatures and unpredictable rain

2. Farming will be easier in highland countries.

3. Malnutrition-growing population can not keep up with struggling agricultural

4. Malaria-insects will thrive in higher temperature

5. Water shortages due to drought.
