The Independent won't let me post the actual article. Please check out the link for the actual text. They essentially say that scientists have laid out what "disasters" will happen when. Here's the link:

Agreed.
The hand wringers seem oblivious to the fact that natural temperature change has far more impact than mankind can have.
This is a perfect demonstration of the difference between precise and accurate. This is a very precise description of what will happen. How accurate it will be is to be determined, but since these kinds of predictions are almost NEVER right, I think we can be sure that this is a bunch of baloney. But very precise baloney.
We could stop global warming in an instant if the insufferable chicken littles who bleat incessently about it would just shut their mouths! :)
72 degrees and 27 percent humidity here today in Huntington Beach, CA
SURFS UP! LOL
Come on out, the water's fine!

I wish I lived long enough to not see all this BS happen. I would bet every red cent I have against this prediction.
It failed.
Now we have the "Law of the Sea".
OK.
Bring it on. The good thing about a solution in search of a problem is that it is a lot easier to smack down.
Different shade of lipstick.
Lefties always have very "precise baloney" whether it relates to the environment, gun control, homosexuality or whatever. They make up numbers, rehearse witnesses and call us "stupid" because we won't fall for it.
I'm not gonna go read their latest silly article, though. Until they explain whatever happened to the "New Ice Age" they were ranting about back in 1975, I'm not interested.
Shouldn't we be insisting that the EV's (enviroweenies) provide us with an Exit Strategy and a timetable?!!
Wait ! Wait !
Can we just let it warm up enough so I can set out my Super Beefstake VFN Tomato plants by...ohhh..April 30th?
It seems to me that they are now only predicting a .3 C change in 25 years. And then some specialized ecosystems will start to feel stress.
It is apparent to me that the focus has changed. They are no longer predicting massive temperature changes they are now claiming that slight temperature increases may cause a tipping point for vulnerable habitats. They are moving the goal posts and trying to change the topic.
If I recall correctly , the population should be about 10 billion by now, the forests and animals should be all gone, and we should all be starving to death, and living in anarchy.
I am looking forward to having another nice laugh.
What is this? the 7th or 8th time since 1970?
There's been that many this year!
Some scientists, without any agenda except to accurately study climate change, are working on this. The problem is that the MSM doesn't report their findings, allowing only the chicken littles to be heard.
I'm a scientist, but know only enough about weather prediction to sail my boat and mow the lawn. What I do know is that the climate has been colder, warmer and again colder long before human existance.
I live in SE Ohio, it's winter now with ice and snow. Forty miles away is a floating, living bog in Buckeye lake. It's littered with tropical plants: orchids, carniverous plants and more wierd stuff that I can't identify. It (the bog and its inhabitants) came her from the far north, having been established there when the north pole was tropical, and was brought down by the glaciers during the ice age.
Such extremes of cooling and warming all took place without human contribution or intervention.
We live in a tough, abeit indifferent, and changeable environment. Somewhere, recently, along our travels we've lost sight of that fact.
