Natural Disasters

It's all very helpful that the lush areas are at the equator, but how on earth are the world's farmers going to move their crops there? The land, unfortunately, will stay just where it is, where a 2C increase in temperature without any extra rainfall will wipe them out.

Exactly!

Well, the reason the area is so lush is because it is so humid. The reason it is so humid, is because there is more energy to vaporise water from rivers, lakes and the seas. The reason there is more energy is because it gets more sun. More energy == warmer.

THUS, if the earth got warmer, we would get more humid, and have more rain. Whether that rain falls on us or not depends on wind patterns but that is a different story.

See, not so difficult.

More heat = more rain. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.

OMG, it keeps getting better. Keep on at it man, you've become my daily comedy fix

Global warming and cooling are in cycles on earth that have been happening for millions of years. It's a natural process.

So skinner all the millions and millions of cars and the pollution that humans create is having no effect on the Earth at all?

Very insignificant effect.
Volcanoes produce much more carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen fluoride than any human activities or man-made processes.

Here is the thing - we don't know.

Some people think it is due to global warming, others seem to think that the world goes through these cycles. Either way it looks like we're in for a heap of trouble and frankly there isn't a place where anyone can go and stand while they say 'told you so'.

I truly agree with this, no one can say I told you so, and I believe that we are now trying to fix problem but it a little to late
