Projected Beneficial Impacts
q Increased potential crop yields in some regions at mid-
latitudes for increases in temperature of less than a few °C.
q A potential increase in global timber supply from
appropriately managed forests.
q Increased water availability for populations in some water-
scarce regions—for example, in parts of southeast Asia
q Reduced winter mortality in mid- and high-latitudes.
q Reduced energy demand for space heating due to higher
winter temperatures.
