1. We will lose a lot more than that...

The rosy predictions and projections over the last 3 decades have CONSISTENTLY underplayed the actual impacts to avoid making people too angry and to protect the profits of the fossil fuel industry.

Once the climate refugees start fleeing the destruction in the next decade, the shit is REALLY going to hit the fan...we are utterly unprepared for any of this. What is going to happen in the 2020's and 2030's is going to make the 20th century World Wars like like a bunch of pikers. BILLIONS are going to die and die horrifically. There is a better than average chance that we wipe of humanity entirely along with the mass extinction already well-underway.

If anyone is tempted to believe the government projections or proclamations, just remember who is currently in charge and prepare for the cold shudder down your spine...
