Greenpeace says climate change is destroying Africa.

Dianne Mcalpine, Special Projects Coordinator for Greenpeace Africa says Africa is dependent on rain fed farming, and is facing a future of rampant food insecurity in an ever hotter and drier continent.

In South Africa temperatures are projected to rise by between 1.1 and 2.4 degrees Celsius over the next 50 years.

Days will become hotter, with less cold days per year than ever before.
