25 Devastating Effects Of Climate Change

[bripat9643]

Another good new article has come out that pulls together in one place some basic analyses of some of the many dangerous consequences and results of Anthropogenic Global Warming and its associated Climate Changes. I'm quoting some excerpts, including the first paragraph and then the list of topic headings (which amount to another paragraph). Each of these headings has a short analysis of the topic back in the original article. Go to the article linked in the title to read the rest of the information.

25 Devastating Effects Of Climate Change

(excerpts)
The world is getting warmer and that's already causing disasters that will devastate lives and cost hundreds of billions of dollars. Those problems are only getting worse, as shown by recent reports from the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) and the White House, among others. The greenhouse gas emissions that drive warming "now substantially exceed the highest concentrations recorded in ice cores during the past 800,000 years," the IPCC said. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, which primarily come from the burning of fossil fuels, have risen 40% since preindustrial times. Last month, world leaders convened at the UN Climate Summit 2014 to discuss plans to reduce carbon emissions though there were some notable absences. Most attendees recognized that failure to address these issues could spell terrible consequences for people all over the world. We've gathered some of those terrible consequences of climate change below. Unless otherwise noted, each effect assumes a temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F) by 2100, a number the IPCC has suggested we are "more likely than not" to exceed, and a sea level rise of 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) by 2100, about the average of all the IPCC's most recent climate scenarios. This is a conservative estimate other studies predict significantly more sea level rise.

1.) Climate change will cost hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

2.) Hundreds of millions of people will be forced to move by 2050.

3.) Dangerous infectious diseases could spread in the U.S.

4.) Western wildfires could burn up to eight times as much land by 2100.

5.) Water scarcity will hit hundreds of millions of additional people by 2100.

6.) Hurricanes could become even scarier.

7.) Four times as many New Yorkers could live in areas that flood by 2050.

8.) Millions of people and trillions in assets are at risk in coastal cities.

9.) 136 of the world's most historic places could be lost to sea-level rise.

10.) Global wheat and maize yields are already beginning to decline.

11.) Small island nations could be destroyed.

12.) There could be no more reefs after 2050.

13.) The marine food chain could fall apart.

13.) The marine food chain could fall apart.

14.) Within 300 years, 88% of New Orleans could be underwater.

15.) Increasing droughts will make the driest regions even drier.

16.) 63% of major wine regions will no longer be suitable for grape-growing by 2050.

17.) Some reptile species could turn mostly female, potentially leading to their extinction.

18.) Atlanta and New York could see twice as many stormy days by 2100, compared to the 1962 to 1989 average.

19.) Many countries are losing essential water sources.

20.) Air pollution in California could cause a public health disaster.

21.) Equatorial regions and parts of the Antarctic will see up to a 50% decrease in their fisheries.

22.) Climate change may lead to more depression and anxiety.

23.) Some animals are shrinking.

24.) Thousands of plants and animal species will lose their native habitats.

25.) 20 million more children will go hungry by 2050.

Fascinating responses.

The OP presents science.

The responses all focus on politics.

How long will it be before people figure that rising levels and melting glaciers don't occur because a politician said they would or would not.

Ignore the politics. Listen to the scientists. When you do that, this topic is MUCH easier to understand, because basically all scientists agree.

The OP presented Voo-Doo.

No, they aren't Voo-Doo docters, but they are all professional ass kissers. They know that to keep their jobs they have to parrot whatever hair-brained scheme the president tells them to parrot. Generals who say what they think tend to get canned or demoted. Just read about General Patton if you dispute that.

In the 1970's, they were positive that an ice age was right around the corner, man being the cause.




Popular Technology.net 1970s Global Cooling Alarmism

“The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot,” according to a Commerce Department report published by the Washington Post.

Writes the Post: “Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers... all point to a radical change in climate conditions and... unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone... Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones... while at many points well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared.”

More evidence of human-caused global warming? Hardly.

The above report of runaway Arctic warming is from a Washington Post story published Nov. 2, 1922 and bears an uncanny resemblance to the tales of global warming splattered across the front pages of today's newspapers. It is one of many historical accounts published during the past 140 years describing climate changes and often predicting catastrophic cooling or warming.

Nope, "they" weren't. That's a really moldy old denier cult myth that has been debunked a million times. Anyone who tries to push this idiotic nonsense at this point is pretty obviously severely retarded or completely brainwashed. Or both.

The Myth of the 1970s Global Cooling Scientific Consensus
The Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
DOI:10.1175/2008BAMS2370.1
by Thomas C. Peterson, William M. Connolley, and John Fleck
8 February 2008
(excerpts)
There was no scientific consensus in the 1970s that the Earth was headed into an imminent ice age. Indeed, the possibility of anthropogenic warming dominated the peer-reviewed literature even then.

Fig. 1. The number of papers classified as predicting, implying, or providing supporting evidence for future global cooling, warming, and neutral categories as defined in the text and listed in Table 1. during the period from 1965 through 1979, our literature survey found 7 cooling, 20 neutral, and 44 warming papers.

In July 1979 in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, Jule Charney, one of the pioneers of climate modeling, brought together a panel of experts under the U.S. National Research Council to sort out the state of the science. The panel’s work has become iconic as a foundation for the enterprise of climate change study that followed (Somerville et al. 2007). Such reports are a traditional approach within the United States for eliciting expert views on scientific questions of political and public policy importance (Weart 2003).

In this case, the panel concluded that the potential damage from greenhouse gases was real and should not be ignored. The potential for cooling, the threat of aerosols, or the possibility of an ice age shows up nowhere in the report. Warming from doubled CO2 of 1.5°–4.5°C was possible, the panel reported. While there were huge uncertainties, Verner Suomi, chairman of the National Research Council’s Climate Research Board, wrote in the report’s foreword that he believed there was enough evidence to support action: “A wait-and-see policy may mean waiting until it is too late” (Charney et al. 1979). Clearly, if a national report in the 1970s advocates urgent action to address global warming, then the scientific consensus of the 1970s was not global cooling.

Unsubstantiated political maneuvering. Oh, and emotion.

Your ideological/political fantasies are ridiculous but you appear too brainwashed to comprehend that this issue is all about the scientific reality of AGW/CC and the evidence that the scientists have uncovered that supports their conclusions, not your crackpot denier cult conspiracy theories.

BTW, most of the topics discussed in that article in the OP are very well "substantied", with a number of embedded links. Like the first one.

1.) Climate change will cost hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

Asset destruction, forced relocations, droughts, extinctions, and all of the other bad things we're going to discuss will add up in costs to the global economy. Already the Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that the US Climate Disruption Budget i.e., stuff related to drought, storms, and growing climate disruptions was nearly $100 billion. And that's just the start.

By 2030, climate change costs are projected to cost the global economy $700 billion annually, according to the Climate Vulnerability Monitor.

As climate change continues, costs will go up. Indeed, the release of a 50-billion-ton reservoir of methane from melting Arctic ice, which may advance global warming by 15-to-35 years, could by itself cost $60 trillion to the global economy, researchers told Nature last summer.

Stopping the damage won't be cheap either. For instance, putting the world on a path for sustainable energy production will cost $53 trillion, according to the International Energy Agency's World Energy Investment Outlook.

But in the long run, these investments could wind up saving money, says a new report from The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate. By spending money now on measures like green infrastructure, governments can save themselves the money that would otherwise be spent on damages caused by climate change in the future.

If only crop yields would increase, we'd be better off.

Quite true, but unfortunately crop yields are going to decline in most areas under the many effects of global warming. Lack of water being only one of these many issues.

Sadly, all evidence shows the earth is cooling.

Sadly, the evidence provided by just this post of yours shows that you are worse than just ignorant, you are brainwashed into imagining that you know things that are actually quite false. There is NO "evidence showing that the earth is cooling", you poor bewildered dupe (or possibly paid lying troll). Instead...2014 is now even more likely to be the next 'hottest year on record'. NASA has just calculated that this September was the hottest September on record, going back 130 years.
NASA: September 2014 Hottest In Recorded Weather History
This follows a string of months that were the hottest months of that name on record.
Last November, 2013, was the hottest November on record.
This last April was tied for the number one spot with April 2010.
This last May was the hottest May on record.
This lastJune was the hottest June on record.
This last August was the hottest August on record.
And now September is also the hottest September on record too.

So now September becomes the 38th consecutive September and 355th consecutive month with a global temperature above the 20th century average. The last below-average global temperature for September was September 1976 and the last below-average global temperature for any month was February 1985. With the exception of February, every month to date in 2014 has ranked among the four warmest on record for its respective month. Currently 13 out of the 14 hottest years on record have happened in the 21st century. When 2014 is confirmed as the new warmest year, it will make it 14 out of the 15 hottest years on record happening since the start of the new millenium. Every year after 1998 has been warmer than every year on record before 1998, in instrumental records going back about 130 years, and even the coldest years since 1998 have been warmer than the hottest years before 1998.

So much for your delusional "cooling".

By the way, animals are not shrinking. Perhaps their populations are getting smaller..... Different issue.

How the hell would you know? And why would anyone believe you about what the future holds for certain species of animals if global temperatures rise appreciably, as opposed to what the actual experts are saying?

23. Some animals are shrinking.

An artist's rendering of the early horse Hyracotherium (right) alongside a modern-day horse. Researchers found that Hyracotherium body size decreased 19% during a global warming event about 53 million years ago.

Fossil evidence tells us that when the planet was last at its warmest — about 55 million years ago during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum — many animals got smaller.

For example: One horse, Hyracotherium, usually the size of a small dog, shrunk in size by 30%.

The horse returned to its normal size when the temperature went back down. But 2 million years later, during another smaller global warming event, Hyracotherium shrunk by 19%.

"The fact that it happened twice significantly increases our confidence that we're seeing cause and effect," said University of Michigan Paleontologist Philip Gingerich, who presented his preliminary findings at the end of 2013. Past global warming, he said, appears to have caused many mammals to shrink.

Scientists are now starting to see history repeat itself. Studies have shown that many animals, including polar bears and some reptiles, have started shrinking as carbon dioxide levels increase.

Are you really worrying about hungry children?

Actually yes, very much. The world's inaction (particularly in America who should be leading the way instead of having our Republican dominated Congress led around by the nose by the trillion dollar fossil fuel industry) on dealing with this climate change crisis in a timely way is going to condemn many people to starvation, especially including children and old people who are the most vulnerable to the effects of starvation and who always die in greater numbers. The world's agricultural systems are very vulnerable to changes in the timing, duration and intensity of the yearly rainfall cycles, changes in the mountain glacial storage of water to feed rivers and irrigation on the sumner, changes in seasonal timing and pollination cycles, and saltwater intrusion into water tables due to rising sea levels as well as loss of farmland directly to the rising sea levels, to just name a few. Climate changes will produce an enormous number of climate refugees which also exacerbates food shortages and starvation.

You still ain't posted the temperatures, how is it that we can not see the temps, how is it it takes science, to tell the simple, was the record 50 degrees, or was it 51?

Post the temperature or you are a liar.

No link to a study, it is a simple number, so post the number.

2.) Hundreds of millions of people will be forced to move by 2050.



International Displacement Monitering Centre - "98% of all displacement in 2012 was related to climate- and weather-related events," according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Center.

Climate change may become the biggest driver of displaced people, according to António Guterres, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.

In 2008, 36 million people were displaced by natural disasters. At least 20 million of those people were driven from their homes by disasters related to climate change, like drought and rising sea level, Guterres said.

He anticipates that countries in the Southern Hemisphere will be most affected by displacement in the future. If this happens, "not only states, but cultures and identities will be drowned," Guterres said at a 2009 conference.

The Internal Organization for Migration estimates that 200 million people by 2050 could be forced to leave due to environmental changes.

Even more alarming, a 2014 study published in Environmental Research Letterspredicted that sea level rise created by a temperature increase of 3 degrees C would force more than than 600 million people to find new homes.

In 2008, 36 million people were displaced by natural disasters. At least 20 million of those people were driven from their homes by disasters related to climate change, like drought and rising sea level, Guterres said.

He anticipates that countries in the Southern Hemisphere will be most affected by displacement in the future. If this happens, "not only states, but cultures and identities will be drowned," Guterres said at a 2009 conference.

The Internal Organization for Migration estimates that 200 million people by 2050 could be forced to leave due to environmental changes.

Even more alarming, a 2014 study published in Environmental Research Letterspredicted that sea level rise created by a temperature increase of 3 degrees C would force more than than 600 million people to find new homes.

Oh boy! More Paul Ehrlich style horse shit to try and scare the savages! Poor little trolling blunder, scared of the boogeyman! Let's see what these same asshats were saying back in the late1960's shall we!


Yes! Lets!

And take a look at what he wanted to do to control population....PUNISH THE BREEDERS! This fucking totalitarian asshole is the perfect little progressive..... You all probably love him so much!

And what's truly funny is this idiot was just as wrong as your morons today are. 30 years from now, when the world has recovered from its collective insanity they will be laughing at you like we laugh at him.


"The original edition of The Population Bomb began with this statement: The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate ...[13] Ehrlich argued that the human population was too high already, and that while the level of disaster could be mitigated, humanity could not prevent severe famines, the spread of disease, social unrest, and other negative consequences of overpopulation. However, he argued that societies must take strong action to curb population growth in order to mitigate future disasters both ecological and social.
In the book Ehrlich presented a number of "scenarios" detailing possible future events, some of which have been held up as examples of errors in the years since. Of these scenarios, Ehrlich has said that although, "we clearly stated that they were not predictions and that 'we can be sure that none of them will come true as stated,’ (p. 72) – their failure to occur is often cited as a failure of prediction. In honesty, the scenarios were way off, especially in their timing (we underestimated the resilience of the world system). But they did deal with future issues that people in 1968 should have been thinking about." Ehrlich further states that he stands behind the central thesis of the book, and that its message is as apt today as it was in 1968.[11]
Ehrlich's views on the situation have evolved over time, and he has presented a number of different proposed solutions. However, he always has been a strong advocate of government intervention into population control.[citation needed] In Population Bomb he wrote, "We must have population control at home, hopefully through a system of incentives and penalties, but by compulsion if voluntary methods fail. We must use our political power to push other countries into programs which combine agricultural development and population control."[13] Voluntary measures he has supported include the easiest possible availability of birth control and abortions. He was not opposed to mandatory population control if necessary.[citation needed] In 1967 he had expressed his belief that aid should only be given to those countries that were not considered to be "hopeless" to feed their own populations.[14]"

Fascinating responses.

The OP presents science.

The responses all focus on politics.

How long will it be before people figure that rising levels and melting glaciers don't occur because a politician said they would or would not.

Ignore the politics. Listen to the scientists. When you do that, this topic is MUCH easier to understand, because basically all scientists agree.

WHERE?

Just as we all could figure out a long time ago from your posts, BoobyBobNutJob, you wouldn't know science if it bit you.

And up pops the Walleyedretard with more irrelevant, off-topic denier cult drivel. Global warming is not causally linked to overpopulation. Although, if the world fails to reduce carbon emissions fairly quickly and we're really unlucky, AGW and its associated climate changes may well 'solve' the population explosion problem completely by killing off a substantial part of the human race. It is a very real possibility.

Walleyed is obviously getting desperate as his cult crashes and burns around him.

Let's take them in order....

1. Bullshit. CO2 levels are significantly HIGHER than Hansen predicted and the global temperature has remained static for the last 18 years. FAIL.

2. Bullshit....once again they ignore the 18 year pause and in fact lie and ignore it. FAIL.

3. Double Bullshit. To whit...Forecasts of global temperature rises over the past 15 years have proved remarkably accurate, new analysis of scientists' modelling of climate change shows. So they analyze models which ignored the rise in CO2 and failed to predict the pause. FAIL.

4. Triple Bullshit. To whit..The authors used a large set of simulations from 18 different climate models (from CMIP5). They looked at each 15-year period since the 1950s, and compared how accurately each model simulation had represented El Niño and La Niña conditions during those 15 years, using the trends in what's known as the Niño3.4 index.

So they used models to compare to other models that still failed to predict the 18 year pause. FAIL
You present us with a litany of hack scientists who use models to check their other models all the while ignoring the actual empirical data you fucking dipshit. That's not science. That's science fucking fiction! And they suck at it! If you want good science fiction you need to go Arthur C. Clark or Robert L. Forward....authors who WERE scientists, and damned good ones.

Your blanket rejection of models does nothing beyond informing us that you don't have a fucking clue.

The Internal Organization for Migration estimates that 200 million people by 2050 could be forced to leave due to environmental changes.

Even more alarming, a 2014 study published in Environmental Research Letterspredicted that sea level rise created by a temperature increase of 3 degrees C would force more than than 600 million people to find new homes.

Oh boy! More Paul Ehrlich style horse shit to try and scare the savages! Poor little trolling blunder, scared of the boogeyman! Let's see what these same asshats were saying back in the late1960's shall we! Yes! Lets! And take a look at what he wanted to do to control population....PUNISH THE BREEDERS! This fucking totalitarian asshole is the perfect little progressive..... You all probably love him so much! And what's truly funny is this idiot was just as wrong as your morons today are. 30 years from now, when the world has recovered from its collective insanity they will be laughing at you like we laugh at him. "The original edition of The Population Bomb began with this statement: The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate ...[13] Ehrlich argued that the human population was too high already, and that while the level of disaster could be mitigated, humanity could not prevent severe famines, the spread of disease, social unrest, and other negative consequences of overpopulation. However, he argued that societies must take strong action to curb population growth in order to mitigate future disasters both ecological and social. In the book Ehrlich presented a number of "scenarios" detailing possible future events, some of which have been held up as examples of errors in the years since. Of these scenarios, Ehrlich has said that although, "we clearly stated that they were not predictions and that 'we can be sure that none of them will come true as stated,’ (p. 72) – their failure to occur is often cited as a failure of prediction. In honesty, the scenarios were way off, especially in their timing (we underestimated the resilience of the world system). But they did deal with future issues that people in 1968 should have been thinking about." Ehrlich further states that he stands behind the central thesis of the book, and that its message is as apt today as it was in 1968.[11]
Ehrlich's views on the situation have evolved over time, and he has presented a number of different proposed solutions. However, he always has been a strong advocate of government intervention into population control.[citation needed] In Population Bomb he wrote, "We must have population control at home, hopefully through a system of incentives and penalties, but by compulsion if voluntary methods fail. We must use our political power to push other countries into programs which combine agricultural development and population control."[13] Voluntary measures he has supported include the easiest possible availability of birth control and abortions. He was not opposed to mandatory population control if necessary.[citation needed] In 1967 he had expressed his belief that aid should only be given to those countries that were not considered to be "hopeless" to feed their own populations.[14]"Paul R. Ehrlich - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

And up pops the Walleyedretard with more irrelevant, off-topic denier cult drivel. Global warming is not causally linked to overpopulation. Although, if the world fails to reduce carbon emissions fairly quickly and we're really unlucky, AGW and its associated climate changes may well 'solve' the population explosion problem completely by killing off a substantial part of the human race. It is a very real possibility.

Walleyed is obviously getting desperate as his cult crashes and burns around him.

The point of my post silly person is your high priests have been making predictions for over 40 years now. And they HAVE ALL FAILED! Just like you!

As usual ,your only point is the one on top of your head.

"Ooooh, somebody said something over 40 years ago about a totally different topic and they were wrong, so that proves that all of the world's climate scientists are wrong now"

Your insanity is hilarious, walleyed!

Meanwhile....

The actual climate science predictions have proved to be pretty accurate.

You really are a clueless fucking moron.. Everything you base your predictions on has already failed so badly that there is no recovery from the hypothesis falsification. Even the most basic scientist can see that there is no correlation or link between CO2 as a driver of anything.

So you bounce back to population control and how it will increase CO2, which has been shown a non player in the game, and is totally irrelevant. IT seems you want to bounce back and forth between two failed liberal/Marxist/Socialist/Totalitarian ideologies and pretend that they have never been debunked and shown garabage.

A child using basic scientific process can see that natural variation is the cause when it is presented without deception and adjustments to aid in that deception.

SO Tell me, HOW DID YOU STOP NATURAL VARIATION to make all that is happening man made?

Your blanket rejection of models does nothing beyond informing us that you don't have a fucking clue.

Your blanket acceptance of lies and made up data show you have no clue about science. Just spin, lies, and deception to froward your totalitarian agenda.

 

[RollingThunder]

Just as we all could figure out a long time ago from your posts, BoobyBobNutJob, you wouldn't know science if it bit you.

You really are a clueless fucking moron..

LOLOLOL.....classic projection....

LOLOLOL.....laughably insane and very delusional denier cult drivel.....equivalent to a Flat Earth Society cultist claiming there are no satellites and no moon landings and moreover all the real scientists agree with him that the Earth is flat.....completely insane...

The American Geophysical Union (AGU) statement, adopted by the society in 2003, revised in 2007,[54] and revised and expanded in 2013,[55] affirms that rising levels of greenhouse gases have caused and will continue to cause the global surface temperature to be warmer:

“Human activities are changing Earth’s climate. At the global level, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping greenhouse gases have increased sharply since the Industrial Revolution. Fossil fuel burning dominates this increase. Human-caused increases in greenhouse gases are responsible for most of the observed global average surface warming of roughly 0.8°C (1.5°F) over the past 140 years. Because natural processes cannot quickly remove some of these gases (notably carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere, our past, present, and future emissions will influence the climate system for millennia.

While important scientific uncertainties remain as to which particular impacts will be experienced where, no uncertainties are known that could make the impacts of climate change inconsequential. Furthermore, surprise outcomes, such as the unexpectedly rapid loss of Arctic summer sea ice, may entail even more dramatic changes than anticipated."​

So you bounce back to population control and how it will increase CO2, which has been shown a non player in the game, and is totally irrelevant. IT seems you want to bounce back and forth between two failed liberal/Marxist/Socialist/Totalitarian ideologies and pretend that they have never been debunked and shown garabage.

First off, BoobyBobNutJob, walleyed brought up the "population control" issue, which is irrelevant to the modern scientific understanding of AGW. The rest of that gibberish is just your usual ideological insanity and delusional psychosis.
