    There is absolutely, unequivocally, no evidence that this will happen and no serious scientific prediction that this will happen from climate change has ever been made.

    The science illiteracy here is getting almost as bad as the right wingers.

      Though of course no one really knows what will actually happen because there are too many unknown variables.

      It was fun thinking of it. Chill out.

        But we do know because thousands of hardworking scientists have devoted their lives to answering this question.

        If you want to have fun speculating wildly then be clear that this is what you’re doing and don’t frame it as things that “will” happen.

        Sorry this is a pet peeve of mine because I think it feeds into a paralyzing pessimism. People need to understand that we aren’t doomed to feel like they can work for a better future.

        I may have stated it slightly too strongly but this is wild speculation on Hansen’s part. Show me a published prediction.

        Even if what he said was accurate, burning that much fossil energy is almost certainly impossible.
