What’s the worst-case scenario? There are many. That is actually hard to say, which is one reason scientists are urging that emissions be cut; they want to limit the possibility of any worst-case scenario coming to pass. Perhaps the greatest fear is a collapse of food production, accompanied by escalating prices and mass starvation. Even with runaway emissions growth, it is unclear how likely this would be, as farmers are able to adjust their crops and farming techniques, to a degree, to adapt to climatic changes. Another possibility would be a disintegration of the polar ice sheets, leading to fast-rising seas that would force people to abandon many of the world’s great cities and would lead to the loss of trillions of dollars worth of property and other assets. Scientists also worry about other wild-card scenarios like the predictable cycles of Asian monsoons’ becoming less reliable. Billions of people depend on monsoons to provide water for crops, so any disruptions could be catastrophic. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/11/28/science/what-is-climate-change.html?src=me
Of course to someone with half a brain, fecalcurrent's post makes no sense. There is a shitload of land mass on this planet that is not suitable for farming because it is too freaking cold. These supercold areas are the areas expected to see the biggest temp increase if you ask a global warming alarmists. Global warming would increase farm-able by a bunch. Of course FC does not have a brain and cannot reason for himself. Nice prediction, but you are full of shit as usual.
co2 is afterall plant food... and we have seen form satellites that as co2 rises the earth is getting more green. one possibility is that we may all have to move inland a bit... but at least we will be able to feed more people.
Right... I think it would be apparent to anyone (non man made agw nutter) who took the time to review history that human civilization has flourished during warm periods and regressed during the cool periods. I don't even wish to contemplate what a new ice age do to us.
Yeah but we are talking about science. You seem confused. http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/
