so where are the catastrophes?
There have been droughts in this country before the cliamte change hysteriaso where are the catastrophes?
Wow.....do you not read a lot of news?
The 2012-2014 North American Drought, an expansion of the 2010–2012 Southern United States drought, originated in the midst of a record breaking heat wave. Low snowfall amounts in winter, coupled with the intense summer heat from La Niña, caused drought-like conditions to migrate northward from the southern United States, wreaking havoc on crops and water supply.[1] The drought has inflicted, and is expected to continue to inflict, catastrophic economic ramifications for the affected states. It has exceeded, in most measures, the 1988-1989 North American drought, the most recent comparable drought, and is on track to exceed that drought as the costliest natural disaster in US history

Jesus wept, man, what did you think was going to happen?
There have been droughts in this country before the cliamte change hysteria
There will be droughts again.
In fact the worst drought ever was in the 1930s. Was that caused by climate change too?

Here's the view of the European Union on drought and water shortages:
The problem is growing
Water scarcity is an increasingly frequent and worrying phenomenon that affects at least 11% of the European
population and 17% of EU territory.
Since 1980, the number of droughts in Europe has increased,and they have become more severe, costing an estimated
€100 billion over the past 30 years. One of the worst droughts occurred in 2003, when one-third of EU territory and over
100 million people were affected. Between 1976 and 2006, the
number of people and areas hit by drought rose by almost 20%,
and the yearly average cost has quadrupled.
Climate change will add to the problems of water scarcity and
droughts.
I never said that the climate is not changing.
And yet they all still confirm that climate change is real and happening, don't they?
Scientists don't have crystall balls, and some changes are happening faster than they predicted, some slower. So what?

I never said that the earth hasn't warmed very slightly
I never said that humans have no part in it.
I said it's not going to be the biblical disaster you are all saying it will be.
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.

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.

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.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.

Unsubstantiated political maneuvering. Oh, and emotion.
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.If only crop yields would increase, we'd be better off.
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.Sadly, all evidence shows the earth is cooling.
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?By the way, animals are not shrinking. Perhaps their populations are getting smaller..... Different issue.
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.Are you really worrying about hungry children?
