The Center for International Earth Science Information Network at the Earth Institute of Columbia University (CIESIN) have produced a report on the effects of climate change on migration of vulnerable people. The report includes a lot of data on likely effects of climate change on Himalayan glaciers and flows of the rivers that rise on the Himalayan plateau, runoff in Central America and Mexico, West Africa/Sahel, and sea-level rise in the Ganges, the Mekong, and the Nile deltas. It is a useful report for us to consider for the GCC chapter.
See Report.
The Vietnam Thanh Nien newspaper of 11 July reports on the Mekong bits of the CIESIN report. It seems to be an even-handed summary that is very well written.

The CIESIN article is also the basis of an article in the Economist.
