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”.
