“I thought BusinessInsider was a libertarian journal?”
Most of the BI articles I’ve read, have a leftist slant to them.
I think they masquerade as a “pro-business” publication.
Here’s my guess as to what actually happens:
1. Climate change will be renamed weather variability.
2. Hundreds of millions of people may be enjoying the new engineered climate of the Sahara Desert.
3. Itchy forearms could spread in the U.S.
4. Western wildfires will be a thing of the past as the entire country will be one enormous city by 2100.
5. Everyone will be wealthy and have lots of desalinated ocean water by 2100.
6. Hurricanes will do what we tell them to do by 2100.
7. Four times as many New Yorkers could live in areas that have Starbucks by 2050.
8. Millions of people and trillions in assets will be fine in coastal cities as we remove excess sea water for the desalination projects.
9. 136 of the world’s most historic places could be in jeopardy but they will all be in newly Islamic Italy.
10. Global wheat and maize yields will continue to fluctuate.
11. Some small island nations could be adapting.
12. 1% of reefs may be at risk of extinction by 2050.
13. Within 300 years, 88% of New Orleans will be underwater but that will explain why seven million people live in Baton Rouge.
14. Increasing droughts will make the irrigation projects seem like a very good idea.
15. 0.063% of major wine regions could be jeopardized by 2050.
16. Some reptiles species could turn mostly female, potentially leading to their becoming Democrats.
17. Atlanta and New York could see twice as many days of thunderstorms a year by 2100 from the 1962 to 1989 average. Got nothing here, sounds sort of fun really.
18. Many countries are losing their main dry season water source which will also make the irrigation projects seem like a good idea.
19. Air Pollution in California could created a serious public health hazard. That’s what they said. I thought this was about changes in the future?
20. Equatorial regions and parts of the Antarctic will see up to a 50% decrease in their fisheries. Get ready for the white hot anger of penguins.
21. Some animals are shrinking. There’s an app for that. It’s called eating more.
22. An additional 20 million more children will go to Arizona by Greyhound by 2050.
#6. Rain storms could become wetter and the rain drops could fall faster.
#7. Droughts everywhere there is a desert.
#8. Pull something crazy out of your ass and it could happen 80 year from now.
lol, good point
Thanks for stating it as it is. That was my first thought on reading “turned into morons”.
