I won't argue that resources will change.. just as they always do, but the total available will increase.
Warmer temps = more evaporation no?
More evaporation means sooner or later more condensation.
The interesting thing about humans and animals and plants.... They migrate toward resources..
If water suddenly becomes scarce in one part of the world, they will either adapt or move to where the resources are. This will cause conflict, no doubt, as it always has in the entire history of humanity.. but the idea that 1-2 degree celcius increase is going to destroy the planet is hogwash.
In general (because models vary), a trend in climate models with warmer ocean temperatures is increased coastal precipitation and decreased inner-continental precipitation.
This is what I'm trying to say too. The resources required to adapt to change are no more significant, from what I can see, than the resources required to try and prevent the change. Especially one that, according to this very article, is NOT PREVENTABLE.
This is what bothers me, and what cogitator never responded to when I brought it up the first time: According to this article, "even if we reduce our carbon dioxide emissions by 70 percent by 2050, average global temperatures will increase between two and nine degrees by 2100."
Okay, we aren't going to be able to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 70%. We'd have to stop every mammal on Earth from farting. Good luck with that. So what's the point? Change is coming. Learning to adapt seems more practical than trying to hold back the tide with a broom.
