Storms systems with more energy & fallout, causing harm & damage to infrastructure. Longer droughts causing raging forest fires to devastate rural areas, taking out power lines, natural gas pipes, homes, businesses, agriculture, farms, gardens, causing water shortages & worse.
An economic recession looming on the horizon as the USD United States Dollar loses value, the interest rates keep rising, banks keeping going bankrupt, stocks plummet in value, commercial office spaces plummet in value, real estate stocks in the toilet & worse.
Sea levels rising, the polar ice melting faster, tipping points in climate change reached as CO2 levels hit 424 ppm breaking historical records. Earths climate had 280 ppm CO2 before human activity industrialization started.
More than 3 billion people in coastal areas will be displaced by rising sea levels. Further billions of people will become environmental refugees because of inhospitably hot conditions created by runaway heat waves that cause heat stroke while killing off agricultural plants & animals on farms important for meet, dairy, egg & similar production valuable to the food supply chain systems at grocery stores, causing food prices to soar.
Huge segments of human society will be forced to relocate as environmental refugee's as tipping points in climate change have already been reached by excessive thoughtless carbon combustion development fueled by fossil fuels with greed obsessive excess promoted as progress without regard for the health of the public or nature or ecosystems.
Governments will each the rich to deal with the fallout. No more tax breaks for billionaires. As the economy falls apart, governments will turn to its wealthiest citizens to pick up the slack for what the failing economy does to tax loss from the working poor & hollowed out middle class. I am talking about wealth redistribution via geometric increases in taxation on elite income earners that make it nearly impossible to be a billionaire in the future.
Even converting all the worlds vehicles to battery electric with sodium ion batteries & hydrogen fuel cells will not be nearly enough to address all the huge carbon emissions from agriculture & the electrical power production & oil refining industries. To support human activities on the scale they exist today with fossil fuel energy means we are releasing climate changing gases, not just CO2.
I am talking about leaning AC gases from your car & old fridges & air conditioning systems that have 2000X the green house gas effect as CO2. CFC's ring a bell, outlawed by the Montreal Protocol, but still produced along side fentanyl in Myanmar by corrupt well-funded crime networks of organized crime. Fake products from China, clones, knock offs, we are talking about a $5 trillion dollar industry of copy-cat reverse engineered fake ROLEX watches & similar faked luxury goods of all kinds, fake vehicles, fake clothing, some Chinese criminals are so corrupt and unethical they will make counterfeit goods of anything & sell them online on Ebay, Alibaba, Amazon or other websites.
Clear, profound, ethical and moral considerations should be applied to looking at how many people will be negatively effected & how governments need to take immediate sweeping action to radically reduce emissions of air pollutants & climate changing gases now!
Climate change will increase income inequality, increase poverty, increase social injustice, increase pollution, increase crime, it will make life worse, harder & more expensive for everyone. The rich should be very concerned as angry well armed middle-class people take to dispatching those who they see as having a totally unfair advantage. This kind of crime results when radical income inequality puts the hyper wealthy next to abject poverty or people who once had nice middle-class lives stollen away by currency devaluation & climate change externalities & consequences like radically increased food, fuel & rent prices.
Other countries have eaten the rick in the past, well their governments did with progressive heavy taxation on elite income earners. See asianometry's YouTube videos to understand what I am talking about.
PNAS work on climate research shows that climate change will be costly & negative like world wide nuclear war, in terms of environmental & social harm that it causes if we do not serious address radical carbon combustion outlaws immediately. This means that while only 1% of the worlds inhibitable land intolerably hot today, more than 20% could be intolerably hot within 50 years. A 20x increase in global warming fallout. Some areas will become much colder during the winter, and winter storms will become more energetic & damaging too. Its about how climate change traps more of the Sun's energy in Earth's atmosphere & the changes to climate & weather that creates, mostly because of human carbon combustion in so many different ways worldwide today.
