    The Unwanted Future Is Arriving

    Painfully slow hurricanes, deadly heat, and cities without water: What the climate crisis will look like in the next 10 years, according to experts

    Morgan McFall-Johnson, November 19, 2019 (Business Insider)

    “…Scientists attribute the increasing frequency of record-breaking temperatures, unprecedented ice melt, and extreme weather shifts to greenhouse-gas emissions…[They are produced by extracting and burning fossil fuels] for energy…According to the IPCC, the world's carbon emissions have to fall by 45% by 2030 to keep the world's average temperature from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels…If Earth warms more than 1.5 degrees, scientists think the world's ecosystems could start to collapse…[There are a few changes scientists say are inevitable in the next 10 years] because the world will keep getting warmer even if we stop emitting greenhouse gases immediately…

    The globe's ice caps will continue to melt, and crucial ice sheets like the one in Greenland might start down an irreversible path toward disappearing completely…That will lead to more sea-level rise — about 0.3 to 0.6 feet on average globally by 2030…The risk of high-tide flooding (which happens in the absence of storms or severe weather) is rapidly increasing…Overall, extreme weather is expected grow more common and intense…Dry vegetation in hot regions lights up easily, which means more frequent, bigger wildfires…[G]lobal crop yields could fall by 5% by 2030…Scientists say the world has to shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy, especially transforming the way we travel and produce food…” click here for more
