re: #777 LudwigVanQuixote

It is not over the top.

Look at the papers look into the data and look into the models.

Just look at the soil predictions for the US alone from Princeton GPFDL. We are talking about a 50-70% reduction in soil moisture across the American farm belt.

What happens to the US when we have 50-75% less food from that alone? If you couple it with the fact that many of our crops really really don’t like being hotter, then I have seen predictions with as much as 90% of our food supply wiped out.

What about the effects of losing cities? A meter rise, which is low ball and the high end predictions are as much as two meters by the end of this century will wipe out our major eastern and west coast cities. That puts almost half of our population almost without a home.

What about the Southwest which will no longer have fresh water and the spread of contagion?

If you are not seriously concerned, you have not looked deeply into this. respectfully, this is not over the top. This is what is coming down the pike.

Having a disagreement does not mean I (or anyone else) am not seriously concerned, that I have not looked deeply into this. You seem to not understand that people can look at the same data and interpret it differently. I guess that’s where the science ends and the activism begins. You want to discuss the science, and I brought up one point on CO2 solubility (which is sort of science related, and you ignored). But instead of providing me a little information, you’re inferring that I am not concerned or have researched this.

Notice in this response that I didn’t accuse you of anything.
