As I write this, the report hasn't been released yet (not as far as I can find), but it's been sort of 'pre-released' to several media sources and Gristmill's used those sources to piece this together:
The good bits:-higher agricultural output in northern regions, at least for a while
-some health benefits, such as fewer deaths from cold
The bad bits:-lower agricultural output in most regions of the world
-more infectious-disease outbreaks
-more heat waves
-more storms
-more wildfires
-more droughts
-more hunger
-disruption of species migration, contributing to ...
-risk of extinction for 20 to 30 percent of species
-more melting of mountain glaciers, alpine snows, and ice fields, contributing to ...
-risk of water shortages for one billion people
-rising sea levels, contributing to ...
-more flooding in coastal areas
-major declines in coral
-disruption of seasonal changes
-more weeds and insect pests
-more death, disease, and injury for many of the world's people -- and not the ones who've been largely responsible for the problem
Not good news...
