What
happens if the rich countries ignore the possibilities? Well, we have
seen the news within the last year -- the latest being the catastrophic floods in Libya
killing at least 5,300 while an estimated 10,000 remain missing.
What is unusual will become the norm as the air heats up absorbing more
moisture from the oceans.
Extreme
weather like hurricanes and typhoons will increase with extended
seasons. Recent examples are the wildfires in Australia and Canada and
the Atlantic hurricane season. The latter runs from June 1 to November
30. Closely before or after would not be exceptional but this year we
experienced a named storm in January.
So
if no one is doing much about climate change except talk, batten down
the hatches or move away from the coast, nice as it usually is.
