Ok so basically:I was being serious.
I made a thread a week or so ago asking someone to explain what the outcome of climate change is supposrd to be and got no responses aside from those who believe it to be a hoax.
- Increase in global temps causes ice caps to melt more, thereby causing sea levels to rise. In my metropolitan area, the highest point above sea level is 54 feet (16.5m). Im about 10 feet above sea level, while coastal areas are 1-3 feet above sea level. With sea levels projected to rise 1-4 feet by 2100 at the current rate of temp increase, a large portion of where I live will be underwater. Other areas, too.
- Higher temps also mean larger hurricanes. You don't have to be from Florida or the Gulf Coast to know that hurricanes increase in size in warm water. If the water is warmer bc the surface temp is warmer, hurricanes will be bigger and more destructive
- Higher temps also mean more deaths from heatstroke and heat-related illnesses
