Climate crisis disasters that could get worse if we don’t do anything

(skipping past all the yammering about the UN IPCC saying doom is coming and typical Warmist cultism)

The “business-as-usual” scenario, referred to as RCP8.5, considers no change in the world’s greenhouse gases emissions. Under this scenario, some climate scientists estimate that temperatures would rise by over 4 degrees over preindustrial levels by the end of the century. Some anticipate even higher temperature increases. The consequences of such an increase would probably be disastrous to humanity.

24/7 Wall St. consulted reports by groups such as the IPCC, NASA, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association, the U.S. Global Change Research Program and more to identify the potential effects of global climate change on the Earth and its inhabitants. Many of these predictions are based on average global temperature increases of at least 4 degrees Centigrade above preindustrial levels by 2100. Even if we manage to avoid the worst-case scenarios, many serious consequences of climate change are already being seen and felt around the world.

1. Rising temperatures

Global average temperatures could rise by as much as 7 degrees Centigrade, or 12.6 degrees Fahrenheit, by 2100. The average has risen by about 1 degree Centigrade.

Yeah, that’s not happening. Even in fantasy world that will not happen. The temperature has only risen about 1.5F since 1850, and even that could be debated as too high due to land use and the urban heat island effect artificially raising the average global temperature.

2. Even higher regional temperature increases

Regional temperatures could increase much more than the global average in North Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Summer temperatures could increase by 9 degrees Centigrade, or about 16 degrees Fahrenheit, in some places.

Nope. Alarmist claptrap.

4. A rise in hurricane and storm activity

Though the jury is still out on whether global warming has significantly contributed to an increase in the frequency and strength of hurricanes affecting the USA, scientists project global warming is likely to cause a substantial increase in the severity of these events.

Hasn’t happened yet, but, SOON, right? (I’m skipping some for slight brevity)

7. Arctic-free summers

If the Earth warms by 2 degrees Centigrade above preindustrial levels, scientists predict that one out of 10 summers in the Arctic will be ice-free.

Do they really want to make this prognostication again? Hasn’t worked out too well so far.

9. Sea level rise

Warming of 4 degrees Centigrade would lead to a sea level rise of 22.6 to 35.4 feet.

The first won’t happen, so the second won’t. But, this is all about Scaremongering.

10. Long-term major sea level rise

Sea levels could rise by as much as 50 feet, meaning less livable land area for humans.

Scaremongering, with more about Florida and Bangladesh being virtually gone. Oh, and major droughts to go with the flooding. And we get

18. Increase in vector-borne diseases

19. Extreme political instability

22. Starvation and food riots

24. Mass extinction

20. Nuclear war

But, remember, they are all about Science!
