In the future, we can expect the temperature to rise even more, leading to droughts, heat waves, and other unpleasant phenomena. Obviously, some regions will be hit harder than others. Several solutions have been proposed, including reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and geo-engineering by spreading special gases in the atmosphere in order to reflect more sunlight.
