What you don't get is that the problem of climate change among some circles has been greatly exaggerated.
Yes, the number of hurricanes could increase. But it might double, over the next century.
That's bad, but in the vast scheme of things, it isn't that bad.
No scientist believes in something like day after tomorrow, or anything coming close to what you are implying is going to happen.
It will be more like trillions of dollars in damages, over the next century. Not some world changing event.
We've been dealing with hurricanes for a while now, and if they double, it isn't going to cause the entire economy to stop.
If you want some recent example, look at Puerto Rico. ~5K people died in the recent hurricane. This is bad. But if it happened twice as often, would the world coming grinding to a halt? No. The Earth would keep spinning, people would continue to go to work every day, and watch TV.
If you want to learn from the experts on the actual scale of damage and timeline, go read what the IPCC have to say on the matter. They are the official authority on the matter. And they do not agree with the idea of world ending consequences, like people imply all the time.
- nl 8y agoI’m not sure why this author’s posts keep getting voted down. They’re not doing climate change denial, they are pointing out what the real consequences are likely to be. Yes, lots of people will die especially in places like Bangladesh. Yes this is terrible, especially when it should have been prevented. No, this isn’t a Hollywood movie where the species is about to disappear.
