Thread: Climate change ‘converts’ reveal what changed their minds

Since AR4, there have been several periods of rapid food and cereal price increases following climate extremes in key producing regions, indicating a sensitivity of current markets to climate extremes, among other factors. Several of these climate extremes were made more likely as the result of anthropogenic emissions (medium confidence)."

So there's your first problem. More people in poor countries will starve as a consequence of more crop failures due to increasing climate variability.

Whether you think this is the worst problem is presumably a matter of personal opinion.

Sorry, but steady yield increases say otherwise.

And the likely consequences have been presented, here: AR5 Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability

If you choose to simply deny the evidence and warnings of the scientists, then there's little I can do to help you.

Also the atheist lecturing trail does not really pay may bills. Far too many of us that are able to do it and no suckers to milk unlike the religious version where you get 10% of their entire income when you catch one.

Sure, but I found it to be a good family movie, and I'm not religious.
