Rexdragon125 12/30/21 12:25:17 PM #45:	Yes, most of the poorer countries are feeling the effects of climate change. Tell us how well capitalism worked out for us in a few decades. Looming mass extinction could be biggest 'since the dinosaurs,' says WWF More plants and animals than ever before are on a global list of threatened species, with the World Wildlife Fund Germany warning that more than 1 million species could go extinct within the next 10 years https://www.dw.com/en/looming-mass-extinction-could-be-biggest-since-the-dinosaurs-says-wwf/a-60289286 Fishery collapse confirms Silent Spring pesticide prophecy' The long-term study showed an immediate plunge in insect and plankton numbers in a large lake after the introduction of neonicotinoid pesticides to rice paddies. This was rapidly followed by the collapse of smelt and eel populations, which had been stable for decades but rely on the tiny creatures for food. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/31/fishery-collapse-confirms-silent-spring-pesticide-prophecy We are running out of topsoil, by 2055 we will have none of it https://therising.co/2019/04/05/research-shows-we-are-running-out-of-topsoil/ https://globalsoilweek.org/ Population is growing so fast, and we are wasting so much food and losing so much water in irrigation that society will collapse by 2040 due to catastrophic food shortages if nothing changes. https://richardvanhooijdonk.com/blog/en/humanity-must-produce-more-food-in-the-next-four- decades-than-we-have-in-the-last-8000-years-the-dutch-may-have-the-solutions/ https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/society-will-collapse-by-2040-due-to- catastrophic-food-shortages-says-study-10336406.html India has 5 years to solve the water crisis, South Africa has the worst drought in 1000 years, Zambia has 2M of brink of starvation thanks to regional drought. According to the UN report in 10 years, 4 billion people will be short of fresh water, 2 billion will be severely short of fresh water. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/27/india/india-water-crisis-intl-hnk/index.html https://www.news24.com/Africa/News/2-million-on-brink-of-starvation-in-regional-drought-in-zambia-20191030 https://www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/scarcity.shtml Extreme heat waves that kill even healthy people within hours will strike parts of the Indian subcontinent unless global carbon emissions are cut sharply and soon, according to new research. Even outside of these hotspots, three-quarters of the 1.7bn population particularly those farming in the Ganges and Indus valleys will be exposed to a level of humid heat classed as posing extreme danger towards the end of the century. The new analysis assesses the impact of climate change on the deadly combination of heat and humidity, measured as the wet bulb temperature (WBT). Once this reaches 35C, the human body cannot cool itself by sweating and even fit people sitting in the shade will die within six hours. There are already parts of the world above 32-33C. https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2017/12/22/humidity-may-prove-breaking-point-for-some-areas-as-temperatures-rise-says-study/ There will be hundreds of millions of climate refugees. By 2050 there will be 1.5B migrants. Yes, its in 30 years. And it will increase the potential for conflicts and violence. A study by the Pentagon confirms 100% there will be wars caused by migrants. For example, India could block the river Indus and kill hundreds of millions of Pakistani.
