List at least 5 effects that climate change would have on Alberta.?

Question

Arrange your list from the largest to the smallest effect, and explain how you decided on the order

Answer 1

migration of humans from flooded & desertified regions/countries - end of "civilisation" as we know it;

Flaura & fauna will move closer to the poles, increase in pests & disease and conflict with humans

agricultural insecurity, especially for mono-crop farms. and failure of global food trade as countries struggle to feed themselves.

Increase in extreme weather conditions, increase in erosion, drought, wlidfires & floods

"Poor" people (like canadians) who cause the least pollution will suffer the most, and the US and the religious bigots will use the social instability to rule the world.

Answer 2

I would be willing to pay a high price, particularly if the response also included measures to move away from dependence upon fossil fuels and changes in social attitudes towards the myth of endless economic growth. Trevor, it is important to note that your prices per person are averaged across the entire globe. Since billions don't earn $900 per year, the true costs of dangerous climate change are likely to affect rich people (i.e. all of us with an internet connection) more (in dollar terms) than the poor (though the poor will suffer more, since they will be losing some of what they need to survive). Also, the costs of mitigation are also likely to fall more heavily on the rich, so we can't just take an estimate of total cost and divide it by the number of people in the world. But this is all quite fair, because it is the rich, developed nations who have had by far the largest emissions historically. We have caused the problem, but the poorest are already the ones who are suffering first and most for it. What is it worth to correct a moral wrong? I don't think a dollar price tag is an appropriate way of measuring it. (PS I'd add a few references for my claim, but I'm in a rush at the moment. I'll see if I can get back to it later).

Answer 3

Heating, people would ski in Florida in a few thousand years if global warming keeps up and we would be nice and warm ;). cloudier skies, in some areas there would be wind blown gases from all over the earth thus making us a little darker.There would be more rain, see above. change in soil, it would be a bit humider. Trees would look different, they would have to adapt.
you can see this because heating would affect all of the above.
