A study conducted by the Stanford University has concluded that although the US and over 100 other countries agreed in Copenhagen to reduce emissions in order to hold the increase in global temperature below two degree celcius,that is just not enough to counter the damage already done.
The researchers say that in the next 30 years,the US could see an increase in heatwaves. The heat is most likely to reduce the yields of major crops like corn,soybean,cotton and wine grapes.
The scientists used 12 models to predict CO2 emissions in the next three decades.
