The world is barreling(moving quickly)down a path to heat up by four degrees at the end of the century if the global community fails to act on climate change, the World Bank said Sunday in a report.

Among the consequences are series of cataclysmic changes(灾难性的变化)that include extreme heat-waves,     1     global food stocks and a sea-level rise affecting hundreds of millions of people, it warned.

All regions of the world would suffer-some more than others-but the Turn Down the Heat report finds that the     2     will suffer the most.

“A four degrees warmer world can, and must be,     3     -we need to hold warming below two degrees,” said World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim in the report.

“Climate change is one of the single biggest challenges     4     development, and we need to assume the moral     5     to take action on behalf of future generations, especially the poorest,” it said.

“The Earth system's     6     to climate change appear to be nonlinear(非线性的),” said PIK Director, John Schellnhuber. “If we venture far beyond the two degrees guardrail, toward the four degrees line, the     7     of crossing tipping points rises sharply. The only way to avoid this is to break the business-as-usual pattern of     8     and consumption.”

The World Bank Group's work on inclusive green growth has found that with more     9     and smarter use of energy and natural resources,     10     exist to greatly reduce the climate impact of development without slowing poverty alleviation(减轻；缓和)or economic growth.
