I think deniers and AGW persons get stuck in the wrong conversation, everyone talks about rising sea levels or changing weather patterns all which takes hundreds of years giving deniers the window to be skeptical. What happens immediately as temperature changes, is the spread of disease. Diseases have their own biomes and usually it's more temperature dependent than anything. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412015300489 Bottom line is if you want to know the effects and proof of Global Warming just look at the ranges of bellwether diseases like Malaria whose biomes are on the rise.
What will be the most devastating effect of Global Warming? I don't know, maybe clothing manufacturers will lose business as less clothes will be required.
Average global temperatures during much of the Neoproterozoic Era (1 billion to 541 million years ago) were cooler (around 12 °C [54 °F]) than the average global temperatures (around 14 °C [57 °F]) of the present day, whereas the global temperature of Cambrian times averaged 22 °C (72 °F) The Cambrian was the hottest phase. The rate of evolution was high, and it was the Age of the Insects. The Nuclear winter that followed the Jurassic meteor strike kiled thousands of species, allowing mammals to evolve, including you and me. around 75,000 years ago, the volcano Tombola erupted, causing an even bigger environmental catastrophy, which reduced Home Sapien to less than 10,000 individuals, creating a species with the most uniform, undiversified gene pool of any non cloned species. Life evolves to fit whatever environmental niches are unexploited. Earth really doesnt care about global warming. Go read 'The evolution of Species' by one C. Darwin, you'll get the idea. You, and the rest of the Climate Change Religion need to realise we dont matter as far as earth goes. Oh and dont be so rude and offensive. Have been unpleasant to you? No!. So kndly extend to me the same courtesy ive extended to you.
The most devastating effect will be the hordes of coastal lefties escaping the rising oceans and thinking that they'll find sanctuary with us hillbillies.
Since we are a species, and since we couldn't have lived on the warmer planet you mention, what is the point; it's okay if humans are wiped out?
That is a ridiculous post. There is no argument that the earth is warming. And we have a confidence of 85% that it is mainly driven by humans. NO ONE besides internet trolls even argue that the earth isn't getting warmer. The only tinkle of a debate left is how much of a role we are playing in that. Learn some elementary facts before posting nonsense.
Rising sea levels and population displacements are probably the biggest concerns. So you agree that "the lefties" are correct but still toss out ridicule. Interesting.
Malaria is a cold weather disease as well. It has been eradicated in the cold weather locations because of economic growth resulting in sanitation clean living conditions. The effect of policies to increase the price of fossil fuels will result in slower economic growth in those areas in which malaria remains a problem and therefore those policies will result in more deaths. And again we see dumba$$ policies do more harm than good.
Yes, I'm a global warming advocate. I embrace global warming because I like electricity and my car, and air conditioning, and all the things that the industrial revolution gave us. If it costs California, well... sucks to be them.
