Hotter, drier climates; deserts will grow, even more than they are now. In case you were unaware, China had a load of dust storms this year, much more than usual. Also, in Central Texas where I was, you can almost feel the west Texas desert encroaching and creeping up on the city.

In fact, I installed some stone in a farm house about 100 mi nne of Austin (Anna Nicholes home town btw) and the home owner told me her grandma use to grow everything the family ate in the garden, and never watered it. it was just the rain that kept it watered. Today, they can barely grow anything at all, the land is nearly rock hard.

More oceanic: Low lying islands (happening now) and lands will be over run by the ocean. If you are at <10 ft below sea level now, it's extremely likely that land will be covered by ocean in 2 - 3 generations. Do you remember the photos of the Lousianna wet lands from about 75 years ago they plastered all over the news during Katrina? Then when they compared them to today?

The key is that the extremes will be more extreme. 11 ft of snow, and 20 hurricanes a year will be fairly normal in 10 years.

10 of the 11 hottest years in the past 100 years have happened since 1995.

Due to Plate Tectonics the Earth will always change. Some places will get wetter, some dryer, Hawaii will get bigger and other landmass will have to get smaller. The Earth is not one unchanging solid rock.
I guess if we are going to worry about gases. Lets think of a way to stop volcanic gases...
The most abundant gas typically released into the atmosphere from volcanic systems is water vapor (H20), followed by carbon dioxide (C02) and sulfur dioxide (S02). Volcanoes also release smaller amounts of others gases, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen chloride (HCL), hydrogen fluoride (HF), and helium (He).

But that's the point of the article. It says nothing about trying to reverse the effects, he says it's not going to happen. He's saying, we better start bracing for it now, which is something we do have control over.

Liberal propaganda? Please. We are watching the polar ice caps and shelf melt in real time now. Further, we are watching them melt even faster. This is not a drill, I repeat, not a drill.
