THAT'S what I really afraid of.

Backatcha.

We just had Hurricane Helene, which caused massive flooding and power outages and, as I write this, over 50 deaths. Lucky me came through it OK.

Serious droughts in Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia. Flooding and landslides in Nepal, Pakistan, wildfires across the Patanal etc etc. It's not all about America.

First one that's actually true.

Warmer planet = worse weather

Sea level flooding on the coast is one type but it recedes. The real flood issue isn’t on the coast. It’s inland a bit. Basically where everyone lives. The sea level raises the ground water table so if you don’t get seepage up through to your property the rain can’t go down. If you research Pliocene/Pleistocene Florida you can see how the entire southwest and western coast were both a inland sea and grassland

Absolutely. Floridians will be treading water by then.

Now i'm prepping for Milton. We've had two 1000 year events within the last 4 months lol.

This isn't a prediction, it's a guarantee. The winters are more unpredictable than the year before, the summers are hotter every year, that hurricane traveled quite far. I could continue. Yet the climate deniers are stubborn in their beliefs because the earth has been through it before without man-made help. Yes, it has. But the thing is, do you actually WANT to experience it all? Because it all will happen, and if you survive, you will be left with nothing, to try to rebuild just enough to live a basic life. Whether it happened in the past or not is irrelevant, but you will be experiencing it. You may not survive it.

Well duh

This is normal planet behavior. They all end someday

🙄😒

I really hope so too. Its heart-breaking how many have to suffer.

This. Countries at war over water, food supply and the like. Ppl going to Mars at war over mining rights there too. Do you want any of the douche billion-aires in control of your oxygen on Mars? Nah.

What? All you have to do is what the governor of Florida did and get a a law passed that no state government official/document can use the words "climate change", and everything will be OK. /S

Already does!

There will be no retirement age, you'll be forced to work until death unless you're rich.

And landslides

LOL

I thought WWIII was already happening.

Nationalize Big Pharma and take the profit out of the picture.

We're already living in it.

To me it seems all too obvious that he's written himself into a corner and completely lost interest in the whole thing.

I think it's nice they all share a hobby.

And a large portion of the Earth especially around the equator will become uninhabitable. Those people won't just sit there and die, they will try and move to safety. Already happening in Europe. The West has a duty to take care of them as they're the primary cause of the catastrophe but you have governments like mine (UK) actively trying to reject and criminalise people just trying to survive.

The end of the middle class is the end of the country.

No surprise here. Anti-immigrant attitudes and propaganda, plus the possibility of climate refugees carrying highly contagious diseases, will stir the s--t pot.

That will be good for the planet.

That's already happening now. But in 30 years, the 99% will have eaten all the 1%.

Animals and plants go extinct daily. It's just you don't notice as they are small.

Isn't that usually how the progress of tech goes? Hard to see it moving backwards

People are already doing that now.

Already is.

Well, now I need a snack.

We could even go as far as a new Civil War. Yikes!

“Invest”. A number of…very wealthy…Nations have already tried…and failed. The money, cost, and technology is insurmountable, compared to the alternatives. The only people that got rich were the “designers”, who disappeared with most of the money.

However, we have enough food to feed the world right now but those who can do something about getting the food to people that need it aren't.

Google- A wet bulb event is a dangerous combination of high heat and humidity that can cause people to overheat and die. The wet bulb effect occurs when the wet-bulb temperature reaches 35°C or higher, and the humidity is very high.

Thank you for your optimism. You can help that come true by voting!

Already there. It’s nearly a full-blown crisis in Japan.

Nope. Will take longer.

People will have their own as long as water resources keep up.

Good. I want to retire on a ranch in Antarctica.

Every... home...?

Dissatisfaction drives progress, but increased complexity of life creates more things to be dissatisfied about.

Melting permafrost is releasing viruses and bacteria against which humans have no defense.

I'm still waiting for the inevitable day when some brilliant monster develops a weaponized disease that targets plant life. And then completely underestimates just how easily their disease spreads. There's no better way to wipe out an entire nation (or the entire planet) than to wipe out a significant chunk of plant life, and plants can't fight back.
