Extent of global warming

- Prolonged droughts in Africa and Asia
- Only 2 out of 6 glaciers are left in the Venezuelan Andes today
- 50% of the glaciers in the Glacier National Park (USA) no longer exist
- 20,000 people have died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave

-> global average temperature is expected to increase by about 4°C by 2100 if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced
