I didn’t want to alarm anybody, but, you let the cat out of the bag. Now there will be mass rioting. Loose lips sink ships.

Hundreds of millions of people may be displaced by 2050.
Billions and billions even.

What’s with all this doom and gloom? Global warming will cause the seas to rise rapidly, so if you live in Cloudcroft, NM, you’ll have beach front property in a few years.

1. Climate change remedies will be insanely expensive.
2. Hundreds of millions of people may be displaced by governments by 2050.
3. Dengue and malaria could spread in the U.S. carried by illegal immigrants and terrorists.
4. Western wildfires could burn up to eight times as much land by 2100 because logging and keeping underbrush in check will be illegal.
(Does land burn? I think they mean forests.)
5. An additional 8% of the world population will experience water scarcity by 2100 because they're not allowed to drill or use river water.
6. Hurricanes could become up to 11% more intense and 20% wetter by 2100 or not. Where did these numbers come from?.
7. Four times as many New Yorkers could live in areas that flood by 2050 also known as beachfront property.
8. Millions of people and trillions in assets are at risk in coastal cities as they always are. And they forgot to use "quadrillions".
9. 136 of the world's most historic places could be in jeopardy as opposed to less historic places.
10. Global wheat and maize yields are already beginning to decline due to less efficient fertilizers.
11. Some small island nations could be destroyed. They could also be wiped out by a tsunami at any time.
12. 100% of reefs may be at risk of extinction by 2050. Until they grow some more or grow in new places.
13. Within 300 years, 88% of New Orleans could be underwater. It would be already if it wasn't for the levies.
14. Increasing droughts will make some of the driest regions even drier. Others will be wetter.
15. 63% of major wine regions could be jeopardized by 2050 and others will more productive and take their place.
16. Some reptiles species could turn mostly female, potentially leading to their extinction but the few remaining males will be happy.
17. Atlanta and New York could see twice as many days of thunderstorms a year by 2100 from the 1962 to 1989 average. Is that so bad?
18. Many countries are losing their main dry season water source. Is it raining less or more now? We're confused.
19. Air Pollution in California could created a serious public health hazard. It has nothing to do with climate change but we threw that in anyway.
(Who proofreads this stuff?)
20. Equatorial regions and parts of the Antarctic will see up to a 50% decrease in their fisheries. Less fish = more vegetation = less CO2. That's good isn't it?
21. Some animals are shrinking. And Plants and other animals will be bigger.
22. An additional 20 million more children will go hungry by 2050 because government took control of food production and distribution.
Most of this is contingent on climate change happening at all. The human caused screw ups may happen anyway.

“Levies” are taxes-—I think you mean “levees”.

Sounds like the plot of a really scary movie which everyone would love; too bad there IS NO man-made climate change.

That’s not the first time for socialist garbage from Business Insider.

Funny how they can't debate GW, but can threaten you all day long about how scary it will be.

If I am real lucky I will see 2050. (I would be in my nineties) Unless major breakthroughs in aging are made I will not see 2100.

Al Gore Forecasted Ice-Free Arctic by 2013; Ice Cover Expands 50% Wednesday, 18 December 2013
Self-styled global-warming guru Al Gore (shown) and a gaggle of supposed climate scientists have egg all over their faces big time. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, Gore publicly and very hysterically warned that the North Pole would be ice-free by around 2013 because of alleged man-made global warming. Citing climate experts, the government-funded BBC hyped the mass hysteria, running a now-embarrassing article under the headline: Arctic summers ice-free by 2013. Other establishment media outlets did the same.
Well, 2013 is almost over, and contrary to the alarmist predictions by Gore and what critics refer to as his doomsday cult, the latest satellite data show that Arctic ice cover has actually expanded 50 percent over 2012 levels. In fact, during October, sea-ice levels grew at the fastest pace since records began in 1979. Experts predict the expansion to continue in the years to come, leaving global-warming alarmists scrambling fiendishly for explanations to save face and to revive the rapidly melting climate hysteria.
In September, meanwhile, data also showed that sea ice levels in Antarctica had expanded to record levels for the second year in a row. Of course, by now, virtually everyone who has been following news about global warming now more often referred to as climate change owing to public-relations concerns also knows that global temperatures have not risen for some 17 years. The spectacular lack of warming demolished all 73 of the climate models used by the United Nations to push its controversial theories.
According to the dubious theories and predictions advanced by Al Gore and other alarmists, though, none of this should be happening. Speaking to an audience in Germany five years ago, Gore sometimes ridiculed as The Goracle alleged that the entire North Polarized [sic] cap will disappear in 5 years. While the original video of that particular failed prediction appears to have been scrubbed from the Internet, conservative bloggers managed to track down the same footage from other sources. Five years, Gore emphasized again, is the period of time during which it is now expected to disappear.

I would pay to see the shrinking animals, plus take the tour of the canals of Manhattan.
Hey, look at the shrinking monkey — oh okay that one just soared out of Al Gore’s ass.

I can live with everything you listed...except the beer getting warmer. We all must live in caves heated by a government approved picture of a fire to prevent global warming!!
