Current and 2050 Impacts
This table includes specific findings for current impacts and impacts for 2050, which are usually based on estimates from the various IPCC RCPs for 2050, but sometimes on a more generic 2+C degrees of warming. The row titles in the "Type of Impact" column are based on the structure of the Effects of global warming article. Entries in italics are statements on impacts taken from the Climate change article, while entries in plain text are taken from the Effects of climate change article; both are placed in the timeframe/degree of warming column that they appear to be associated with. I moved the "Drought" category from the "Human" to the "Land" section, as I think that there are also non-human impacts from droughts. I typically selected statements from those two articles that I thought provided specifics descriptions of impacts/risks, rather than more general ones, but I tried to include at least one statement from those articles in each category for comparison purposes. In general, the entries from the Effects of global warming article provide more specific descriptions than those from the Climate change article. I have added entries in bold that are from other sources to illustrate additional statements that could provide a more complete description of current impacts and higher end risks (9/1/20, this last part is about 1/3 complete). In addition, I think both articles would benefit from a specific paragraph or two on progress in "attribution science" in explaining impacts.
