If we don't take the President's advice and combat climate change, what is the outcome du jour?

Whatever the next scary thing is WILL BE blamed on our taxes being too low and our having too much freedom.

All Democrats always make that case on all topics. No exceptions - ever.

We are already seeing an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events. These trends will continue. The relatively minor effects that these events have so far had on the global supply chain for food production and distribution will increase; we should expect localized famine in the poorer regions of the world by mid-century.

As localized strife becomes regional, civil disorder will ensue; perhaps leading to the fall of governments in poorer countries. Some of the countries likely to fall have nuclear weapons; these may fall into the hands of terrorists.

EDIT:

> Joe...we have to fight climate change to avoid terrorists

> getting nuclear weapons...that's a new one on me, and

> may I say...Wow.

You might check with the U.S. Department of Defense, and the CIA. My statements come from their long-term strategic outlooks.

There is no single sure answer to that. the only knowns are that climate change is being mainly driven by man releasing greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. this will have the effect of making some areas warmer, some colder, some wetter some drier, which will affect farming, sea level, sea level, storm intensity. Ocean acidity will also be affected by added CO2, affecting life in the oceans.

Climate change is going to happen no matter what we do politically. there used to be huge lakes in the middle of the Sahara Desert. North America was mostly covered by glaciers, it will be again because it`s a cyclic event associated with the tilting of the earth.

If we do not surrender all of our personal and economic freedom this instant as well as shoveling tons and tons of research cash to the "scientists" we are all going to die. We are going to be doomed by the coming ice age I mean the hole in the ozone I mean acid rain I mean global warming I mean climate change. Either way that is what the politicians keep telling me and all they have to gain from it is absolute power. Plus it really get that white guy with dreadlocks that hangs out at Starbucks really upset.

Depends on what DOOM Pele's all wise (and exclusive in knowing her will) priests declare. She could deny warmth or smite us all with searing heat? Point is She is PISSED at puny non submitting men. Who disobey Her priests. As represented by Her Grand Pubah Obama So, KNEEL unworthy dogs and be grateful.

What has man done to combat what has naturally occurred since the beginning. Oh yeah, wear layers to adjust for the weather.

@Mittens (ran out of room?) don't even know what it is we're supposed to be changing....but they know exactly how much they're going to spend to do it!!

No change that amounts to anything of significance.

000.1% raise in temperature over the next 2500 years.
