WG2 chapter 9 speaks of
700 million Africans
displaced by
by 2030.
700 million, that is half the continent by 2030, and only 300m short of the 1 billion by 2050 the PM spoke of. But within 8 years.
Also 435million malnourished Africans by 2030, 1/4 of the continent.

If someone wants to understand and , please do a fulltext search in AR6-WG2 for "by 2030", "in 2030", "by 2040". You'll see why we who face that fear porn / research results are desperate.
