'Apocalyptic threat': dire climate report raises fears for California's future

City heatwaves could lead to two to three times as many deaths by 2050, the report says. By 2100, without a reduction in emissions, the state could see a 77% increase in the average area burned by wildfires. The report also warns of erosion of up to 67% of its famous coastline, up to an 8.8F (4.9C) rise in average maximum temperatures, and billions of dollars in damages. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/aug/27/california-climate-change-report-wildfires-jerry-brown
