As I have posted on another forum
For a moment let us say that Global warming is occurring. What will happen?
Humankind will do as it always has done. Adapt and exploit it. Yes. some areas will get less rain. Others will get more. so we will stop farming in areas that are getting the less rain. and start more farming where it is getting more. There may have been a drought in texas. But here in NJ we have had the first real spring I can remember in years. the kind my mother says we used to have. And our rain and climate this year has been perfect for crops. In fact our blueberry crops are just now ready and are some of the best we've had in years.The early season harvests of spinach, collards, beets, radishes, escarole/endive, Swiss chard, lettuces and herbs such as parsley, dill, coriander, and cilantro also have gone very well.
If the seas rise we will...move back. I dont know about anyone else but if Im in an area of rising water and that water threatens to go over my head. I either move to shallower water or get out entirely. Course based on the number of people who insist on building homes over and over again along rivers that have been flooding for thousands if not millions of years. I cant say that everyone is so intelligent but some people are just natural born masochists I guess. I just dont happen to be one of them.
The coastline was getting boring to look at anyway. Time for a change. Think if it as more of a redecorating. It was getting too full of high rises anyway. I certainly wont miss them.
Yes. some species will die out. Others will adapt such as the Polar bears starting to mate with Grizzlies.

If this climate change is happening. Its not the end of the world. It only means things will be different. But that has been going on for billions of years.
C'mon. People arent fearing "global warming" As much as they are fearing change. People hate change
