‘Like a Terror Movie’: How Climate Change Will Cause More Simultaneous Disasters

Global warming is posing such wide-ranging risks to humanity, involving so many types of phenomena, that by the end of this century some parts of the world could face as many as six climate-related crises at the same time, researchers say.

This chilling prospect is described in a paper published Monday in Nature Climate Change, a respected academic journal, that shows the effects of climate change across a broad spectrum of problems, including heat waves, wildfires, sea level rise, hurricanes, flooding, drought and shortages of clean water.

The paper projects future trends and suggests that, by 2100, unless humanity takes forceful action to curb the greenhouse gas emissions that drive climate change, some tropical coastal areas of the planet, like the Atlantic coast of South and Central America, could be hit by as many as six crises at a time.

Gosh...only 172 years from now...

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Mankind’s ability to reverse natural or “anthropogenic” climate change is the most ludicrous thing suggested in the existence of humanity.

[Spok]

Fearmongering, as they always accuse others of doing.

[Lakewood]

Oops...make that 72 years from now...

[antidemoncrat]

Around where we live, the climate changes in November and again in March. Maybe climate change really does happen.

[Jim Robinson]

The Swamp Creature will get us long before global warming.

Didn't the NYT have an article on the faulty data used in the "climate change" panic?

Don't they read their own stuff?

... heat waves, wildfires, sea level rise, hurricanes, flooding, drought and shortages of clean water...

Worse yet - Climate Change will cause you to Wet The Bed!

Oh The Humanity!

It's not like these things didn't exist. And numbers each year....that's a game. Past data is not predictive. It's one damn big guess.

And reality says it's all 50/50...either you're right or you're wrong.

The weather is changing.It’s the 20th of November and I still have 92 acres of soybeans to harvest.Too wet to support the weight of the combine.

Well, at least John Schwartz isn't pulling an ‘AlGore’ where he makes his stupid ‘The world is ending’ pronouncements within the fame-work of his own lifetime...

Guess these nutcases have figured out they don't want to embarrass themselves when - once again - nothing happens. AND the rest of us are standing there laughing at them...

Climate change is coming. It’s described in Revelation, and driving a plug-in won’t save you.

By 2100, there won’t be anyone left in South and Central America to care.

Notice how all of the crap appears decades in the future. I can tell you they were predicting famine, pestilence and depletion of natural resources in the seventies. Before that:

Thomas Robert Malthus

There are always doomsday scenarios and those who peddle them. Like the NY Times generally the are usually full of it.

[bigbob]

It just caused the leaves to fall off my trees at the exact time it snowed!

[SkyDancer]

Which is different from the drastic global cooling predicted in the Seventies???
