Loss of biodiversity
Loss of biodiversity☜Climate change will lead to a significant loss of biodiversity on the planet.☜59C6EF
↳
Extreme heat will make some areas uninhabitable
Extreme heat will make some areas uninhabitable☜Rising temperatures will make some the currently inhabited areas of the planet uninhabitable.☜59C6EF
↳
Increased risk of food shortages and famine
Increased risk of food shortages and famine☜The likelihood of large scale crop failures due to increased temperatures, sudden flooding, extreme weather conditions, drought, and insect species migration is high. Being able to feed the population of the planet is going to be hard, and there is a high likelihood of famine.☜59C6EF
↳
Increased risk of war
Increased risk of war☜Given water shortages, crop failures, areas potentially becoming uninhabitable, and potential mass human migration, then the likelihood of a large scale war is high - unless international awareness of these issues is raised.☜59C6EF
↳
Increased storm intensity
Increased storm intensity☜Strom intensity is likely to increase for tropical cyclones and middle latitude convective cells. ☜59C6EF
↳
Risk of a rapid catastrophic climate change
Risk of a rapid catastrophic climate change☜The climate is a complex, non-linear system and exerting significant pressure on one more variables may trigger rapid catastrophic change in the system.☜59C6EF
↳
Risk of increased social unrest
Risk of increased social unrest☜There is a risk that climate change will lead to intensifying social unrest.☜59C6EF

Risk of ocean salinity decline
Risk of ocean salinity decline☜Rapid influx of fresh water can shut down or alter warm water currents in the Atlantic Ocean. ☜59C6EF

Sea level rise and flooding of low-lying lands
Sea level rise and flooding of low-lying lands☜Current trends suggest that we may already be committed to significant rises in sea level and the associated flooding of low lying population centres.☜59C6EF

Sensitivity of Earth's climate to atmospheric CO2?
Sensitivity of Earth's climate to atmospheric CO2?☜How sensitive is the Earths climate to variations in atmospheric CO2?☜FFB597

There is sufficient evidence that temperature is rising.
There is sufficient evidence that temperature is rising.☜Some of the skeptics argue that longer-term evidence that modern temperatures are higher than they have been for hundreds or thousands of years is actually too flaky to be meaningful. However, the use of the pejorative word flaky is inadequate to refute many thousands of scientific observations. ☜FFB597
□
How can CO2 stay up in the atmosphere?
How can CO2 stay up in the atmosphere?☜The molar mass of air is about 29 g/mol, the molar mass of CO2 is about 44 g/mol. How can CO2 then be a greenhouse gas staying up in the atmosphere and reflecting the heat?☜FFB597
□
Why are night temperatures still significantly lower?
Why are night temperatures still significantly lower?☜If a greenhouse effect exists, why are night temperatures still significantly lower than daytime temperatures?☜FFB597
□
Is Anthropogenic climate change a hoax?
Is Anthropogenic climate change a hoax?☜A conspiracy theory exists to this effect. It is one of the most improbable of all current conspiracy theories.☜FFB597
□
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal
Warming of the climate system is unequivocal☜Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased. ☜59C6EF
