Millions of people around the world face death and devastation due to floods, famine, drought and violence caused by global warming, according to a report by a charity group.

A report to be released Monday by Christian Aid said 162 million people in sub-Saharan Africa alone could die of disease directly attributable to global warming by the end of the century.

It urged the British government to lead the world’s richer countries in taking urgent action to curb global warming.

Poorer regions, the charity added, should be encouraged to use renewable energy sources.
