Well, the question may be somehow gross, but what I mean is, there are a series of studies in which its said climate change will bring more harmed nations to start wars with those having more natural resources(water, food, wood, so on), there is also a growing concept of «climate migrants», referring to mass migrations from the poorest nations to those capable of sustaining its people.
So, tell me, what do you think Climate change as you imagine, will bring to Mankind, animals, plants, the world...?

According to the U.N., it already has in Darfur:

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56229

"U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon blames the ethnic and religious violence in Darfur on global warming and insists more conflicts of this kind are coming because of climate change."

Wars of the World: How Global Warming Puts 60 Nations at Risk
http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/888019/wars_of_the_world_how_global_warming_puts_60_nations/index.html?source=r_science

Attributing Darfur's water wars to global warming will be dismissed by some as "liberal media hype" or "U.N. socialist agenda."

Regardless of whether Darfur would have dried anyway, we're about 100 years into an accelerating warming trend that is forecast to warm 2-10X more in the next 100 years, so conflict and migrations are a possible outcome if we fail to act.

In the U.S., eleven top U.S. retired admirals and generals have warned that climate change is a "threat multiplier for instability" and needs to be factored into military planning.

If you read one page, read a "Voice of Experience" statement by one of the retired generals who contributed to the report, such as the one by General Gordon Sullivan (retired Chief of Staff, U.S. Army) on page 10. In most of those personal statements, the generals discusses how they came to be involved in the project and how they converted from skeptics to become convinced that climate change represents a serious national security threat due to the droughts, famine, and social upheaval it will cause in other regions, causing issues such as mass migrations and increased threat of terrorism in the U.S.:

National Security and the Threat of Climate Change
http://securityandclimate.cna.org/report/

Societal collapse due to drought and constrained resources may have already happened a couple of times in North America with the Ancient Pueblans ("Anasazi") and the Maya:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_Maya_collapse

"The Maya people did not actually disappear during the Classic Maya Collapse, and the entire Maya region did not collapse. Most of the southern Maya centers declined and were abandoned, while a few cities with access to water continued through this transitional period, and still other new ones were founded. The highest and best art and architecture come from the Classic Maya period — the survivors in later eras did not attain the same quality of civilization or make much further progress. The different years Maya cities collapsed provides for much debate among Mayanists studying the Collapse.

Current theories of the Classic Maya Collapse have been categorized into three models:

- systemic ecological collapse — the Maya over-exploited the land and caused environmental problems for themselves;

- political/warfare — a cultural theory holding that the elite fought too much and provided poor leadership; and

- drought caused by climate change."

If climate change is as slow and orderly as the government-sanitized IPCC report would like it to be, we probably have a few decades before we'd better have our southern border secured.

Obviously some parts of the world will gain because the new climate enables crops to be grown.
I don't know whether there will be some sort of Armageddon but in several poor countries the situation is deteriorating. In general they don't have the resources to start wars which is why they are putting their faith in the UN to see that justice is done.
Mass migration is not an option for most. I understand, for instance, that already India is strengthening it's borders with Bangladesh.

Longer growing seasons, increased crop yields, fewer famines will be caused if anything but it will be rather minor unfortunately. The moderating effects should reduce hurricanes and dangerous weather. Increased CO2 should be a great benefit to plants that will need less water so deserts may eventually be farmed. Just speculating on deserts to get the goat of the Global Warming Doomsday Cultists. Cries of doom are just silly as if we would be better off during the Ice Age.

There is a reason the Man-Made global warming thugs predict "that in 25-50 years" there will be an earth in chaos. Because they know that the science is junk. If they were so sure of the "science", they would provide tangable results that are visible next year. But they won't do that, because that would show how far out in left field their "science" really is. No one can predict what our climate will be up to next week, let alone 25-50 years out......it's all a guess...not even an educated guess....just a guess with an agenda.

It was one of the most offensive charges ever for a organization that makes them daily (I am referring to the UN). They imply that the genocide in Darfur is due to the west increasing the temperature 0.5 degrees. I don't understand why we tolerate the UN and its nonsense. When you have Cuba and China running the human rights propaganda out of the UN, is it any wonder? Is there a level that the left will not stoop to? Do they have any shame left at all? The answer is apparently "NOT!!!"

Don't worry. We are all going to not use store bags and get an electric car. That will solve everything. Pollution will stop and then the world will start cooling down, because we are the bad people and we caused all this to happen. All we have to do is do something that makes us "feel Good" and everything will be allright.

Not directly as a single issue. What was the cause that Jesus drive the money changers off the steps entering the temple, and his arrest and execution? what caused the wars ever since? The answer, a few extended families of control freaks, that control the money of the world, inspired by the real satan.

Yes they will shut down Disneyland
Green Scams

Here's how it works:



Scrubbing trees are planted to scrub C02 from the atmosphere. You buy Carbon Offsets to pay for this.

Carbon Offset scammers claim to have Chinese tree scrubbing farms working day & night to give you guilt-free carbon release.
We are against out-sourcing jobs to China just because Chinese trees work cheaper.


How we do it:

Forego our purchase of Gulfstream G5.
Give dirty looks to SUV driving soccer moms.
No limo rides to Oscars.
Limit personal off-gassing. (if you know what i mean!)
We plant stuff too.


How you can help:

Paper, not plastic at grocery store.
Poop in the dark.
Turn thermostat down to 60 in winter for northern hemispherers.
Visit relatives less.
Recycle baby's diapers.
Don't encourage the homeless, it only encourages them.
Cancel your cable subscription.
Cancel your cell phone.
Study a hard science, not liberal arts.

No.

The global warming people always show hurricanes and floods and fires. They say these things will be more likely in a warmer climate. But they can't give numbers. I say of you can't give numbers you don't know what you are talking about.

there are many predictions for the world coming to an end on the year 2012????????. it probably won't.
none of the predictions are for climate change. climate change may take 100 years or more. it will not kill off the entire population of this planets.
