Climate Change Evidence Mounts

Please tell me what bad aspect of a warmer world you think will hit hardest. Also where this thing is going to cause any significant trouble. Some local council or city or something.

Not quite sure what you're trying to ask but I'll just assume that you were asking which effect will be the worst. There are several negative effects such as the rising sea levels (will threaten a few cities), increased famines in arid climates, and ecosystems being depleted from changing too much.

The sea levels have risen for the last 18,000 years quite naturally and often at rates vastly greater than today despite the absence of capitalism and industrialisation . The last century in comparison has been quite unremarkable in that regard ?

It does not seem like the graph actually measures the sea level rise in the last 200 years. Currently, sea levels are 5-8 inches higher than they were in 1900.

From that graph you can see that the sea level has risen about 2 metres over the last 6,000 years - that's a rate of rise of about 0.33 mm per year. The rate of sea level rise over the last century has about 10 times that value, and is still accelerating. So actually rather remarkable!

The question was to find the thing you expect to be the worst. The single thing. So, sea level rise.

How much sea level rise do you think will happen due to global warming and which city do you think is the least able to cope with it?

Another one that can't read graphs :roll:

The sea level has been continuously rising quite naturally for many millennia and just like all the other aspects of climate change there isn't a darned thing we can do about it

You one of those fossil fuel deniers are you? I call them the fossil fuel deniers because civilization would come to a screeching halt if they ever get what they want.

Having communities, governments, corporations and individuals leading the way in the transition away from fossil fuels have lead to economy of scale and innovation in renewables, batteries and other technology, so that renewables are starting to outcompete fossil fuels.

Plunging Prices Mean Building New Renewable Energy Is Cheaper Than Running Existing Coal

Exxon knows renewables are cheaper, even if Trump doesn't

There even Republican politicians are seeing the great opportunities of renewable energy.

Accuses another poster of not being able to read graphs, but somehow thinks a sigmoidal curve represents ‘continuous’ rise.

LOL.
