The map below does not copy well to this posting. The title is “The World: 4 degrees C Warmer”. And it notes, “No one knows exactly what this world will look like, but models provide insights into forced human migrations and our future power generation.” Another notation is: “Amazon: desert”. How accurate this might be if we are unable to stop the earth from heating up over 9 degrees Fahrenheit is uncertain but what is certain is that the outcome will be dramatic and cause major shifts in agriculture and the production of food and the availability of clean fresh water. Who has it and who doesn’t will cause unpredictable conflict and suffering.
I hope for the sake of future generations that we are smart and committed enough to make the tough changes now that we need to to avoid this scenario. It starts at the ballot box…
