Global Warming isn't just warming. Its throwing the worlds systems out of whack, and weather starts going all fucky. Notice all the hurricanes in the last 2 years? its up like 100% (someone find the stat for me plz) . In the Day After Tomorrow, when the north atlantic current gets intterupted by the melting water from Grenland and the Arctic, it caused a hurricane so powerful, the eye of the storm sucked super cooled air fromt he upper troposphere and brought it to ground level, where it froze things solid at -100 degrees celcius (or something). now, this sent europe and North america into an ice age within the year. It happened before (according to the data in Al Gore's movie) when the ice wall containing the melted North american glacier spilled into the atlantic, carving out the St Lawrence seaway, and disrupting the North Atlantic, and sending europe into an ice age, within 10 years, hence the mammoths found frozen in ice, still intact. Im not sure about that fact, but i wouldnt be surprised. Anyway, this is how it will go down, probably sooner thatn later:
1. The ice melts.
2. The sea level rises 20 feet.
3. A hunderd or so major cities are underwater, especially those that didnt build a New Orleans style levee.
4. People will have to abandon the cities, those who dont will join into clans, and fight over the scraps. The diseases will run rampant. Bodies everywhere.
5. The billion or so displaced people will have to go inland. Refugee camps millions large. Big problems.
6. Things either start to get hotter, or get colder.
7. If it gets too hot, we have to live indoors, which will only accelerate the pollution in the air.
8. Too cold, and we all die, we wont be able to get to the ground soon enough, and we wont be able to drill through the ice, or blow through it, except with nukes, which will just radiate the water, making all the water poision to drink.
Maybe, like in the movie, it will stay warm aroung the equator, and we can survive.
maybe not.
but What is for sure, is that something incredibly serious and fucked up is coming, and we're not doing nearly enough to address it. Shortsightedness will kill us. Maybe all of us.
Whaddya think about that.
