If mankind is causing it, then we're likely to keep causing it, and be fucked in the way you describe.
If mankind is not causing it, then we don't know what's going on and our predictions about the long term (next 100 years) trend are likely wrong.
- rayiner 13y agoThe projections are at least partly or mostly based on the trends, which means that even if scientists are wrong about the cause, the projections are probably still right. So I think we're fucked either way. Some place more than others. Me, I'm planning on holing up in Oregon with the in-laws to prepare to defend the state's water resources from invading Californians.
- harryh 13y agoYa, if anything we might be less fucked if it's human caused. Because that way we have some hope (however small) of reducing our carbon emissions. If it's something else out of our control then we could be well and truly fucked. Unless it just suddenly stops happening. Stay tuned! Oregon does seem like a pretty good plan.
