Apocalypse Now: Unstoppable man-made climate change will become reality by the end of the decade and could make New York, London and Paris uninhabitable within 45 years, claims new study.

Research from the University of Hawaii claims that man-made global warming is now inevitable
The Earth is going to dangerously heat up over the next 50-years
The tropics will bear the brunt of the disastrous temperature increases of as much as seven-degrees-centigrade
Millions of people will be displaced, millions of species will be threatened with extinction
Major cities such as New York and London will fight to survive the rise in temperatures the likes of which humans have never experienced before
