3. Dengue and malaria could spread in the U.S.
4. Western wildfires could burn up to eight times as much land by 2100.
5. An additional 8% of the world population will experience water scarcity by 2100.
6. Hurricanes could become up to 11% more intense and 20% wetter by 2100.
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 in jeopardy.
10. Global wheat and maize yields are already beginning to decline.
11. Some small island nations could be destroyed.
12. 100% of reefs may be at risk of extinction by 2050.
13. Within 300 years, 88% of New Orleans could be underwater.
14. Increasing droughts will make the driest regions even drier.
15. 63% of major wine regions could be jeopardized by 2050.

# 11 ...Hank Johnson was a prophet!
What gives?
could..., maybe..., could, might, could be, could see, etc.
We’re all going to die!
Here is my list: #1 - turns left wing humans into morons.
It’s devastated my faith in climate science and the federal government.
#24-Ice cubes will melt quicker at 70 degrees than before global warming.
#25-Increased chance of mass extinctions because most plants and animals in the tropics will experience a higher rate of their body fluids boiling.
How dare the climate change. It always promised me it wouldn’t.
yes - i noticed the same thing.
we should make our own list
crop yields could increase by 20%
deaths due to freezing may be reduced by 13%
heating oil consumption might drop 23%
The last time we had global warming, population boomed, economies got stronger, and generally good things happened.
The year without a summer, on the other hand, killed a lot of folks.

Therefore, we must shred our constitution, give up our freedom, surrender our national sovereignty and cede all authority to the UN and international communism? I’ve got a better idea. How about we fight like hell and keep our freedom!
“Look, TOTO pulled the curtain back every day for 5 years and you are still afraid of the Wizard. Look at him! He's just a guy who lives in a wagon in the field!”
“I dunno, he might really be the Wizard”
“You saw him pulling the levers!”
“I dunno, Al Gore And Mr. Mann say he's really the real Wizard”
Let's not exaggerate! My research suggests that no more than 135 of the world's most historic places will be in jeopardy.

You forgot the biggest one of all:
#47 More dangerous dihydrogen monoxide will be created by Global Warming!”
* 9. 136 of the world’s most historic places could be in jeopardy.
Let’s not exaggerate! My research suggests that no more than 135 of the world’s most historic places will be in jeopardy. *
It depends on what you count as historic.
It could be as many as 159.55 historic places. The Science is settled.
“The last time we had global warming...”
