There’s a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this:
In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us—just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature.
Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong.
Sellisel kujul õnneks tõesti on vale. Kliimamuutuste otsestest tagajärgedest tsivilisatsioonile (õhutemperatuuri tõus, uputused, tormid jne) kaugelt hullemaks kujunevad sekundaarsed muutused, mis hakkavad juhtuma siis, kui sajad miljardid kliimamuutuste tõttu liikvele lähevad.
Even with these innovations, though, the cumulative emissions will cause warming and many people will be affected. We’ll see what you might call latitude creep: In North America, for instance, Iowa will start to feel more like Texas. Texas will start to feel more like northern Mexico. Although there will be climate migration, most people in countries near the equator won’t be able to relocate—they will experience more heat waves, stronger storms, and bigger fires.
Küll nad juba on. Põgeniketeemas on küllalt kirjeldatud Mustast Aafrikast Vahemere äärde rändamist - ja jutt on ju ka nii Lõuna- ja Ida-Aasiast kui Ekvatoriaal-Ameerikast.
Some outdoor work will need to pause during the hottest hours of the day, and governments will have to invest in cooling centers and better early warning systems for extreme heat and weather events.
See on pehmelt öeldes naiivne arusaam asjast. Põllukultuuridel on kliimavöötme vahemikud, milles need kasvavad.
