Insurance giant Lloyd's of London has issued its third climate change report. Though lacking the catchy title of their first report -- "Adapt or Bust" -- "Rapid Climate Change" is a good read, with an emphasis on environmental changes most likely to occur in our lifetime: sea level rise, melting icecaps, flood and drought.
