  1. Reading the comments is really saddening. Instead of learning from this, the commentors mostly ridicule and deny. Since the deniers dominate the political discourse in the US, and have power in UK and Australia, I do not expect the world governments to get serious about dealing with this. CO2 rose over 4ppm last year. At that rate, we shall see 500ppm CO2 by 2040. The warming affect will keep accelerating. Once humanity decides to do something, it will take 50 to 100 years for their to be any impact on halting or reversing it. I do not expect the beach and coastal areas of the Gulf and Atlantic coasts to be habitable by 2100.

  2. The answer is "Yes". Going by their policies, rhetoric, and actions -- the GOP is trying to end our Constitution.

  3. The planet is warming. Climate change is real. Oceans will rise. However, I do not yet accept that the planet will get dryer. Consider -- in the Cretaceous, there were no polar ice caps. Oceans were deeper, and CO2 was over 600ppm. BUT, the planet was wetter, not dryer. Further consider -- Warmer air, holds more moisture. Thus, overall global rainfall should increase. Moreover, a slower, more wavy jet stream, distributes storms more erratically, actually preventing long term deserts to form. But, also increasing chance for local droughts. So, first explain why the Cretaceous was not dryer, and then explain the process of how an atmosphere with more water will result in a dryer planet. Explain those points, and I will accept the forecast of a dryer future climate.
