Christian Aid: Millions of Africans Will Die from Climate Change

Christian Aid has reported that disease spread by climate change can kill millions in sub-Saharan Africa by the end of the century and turn millions more into refugees unless rich nations take action now.

The international relief agency said rich developed countries had to end their dependence on fossil fuels and set aside large sums of aid to help poorer nations ride out the worst impacts of global warming and switch to energy sources like wind, solar and waves.

Christian Aid estimates 185 million deaths, due to disease on figures from the United Nations and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
