A new study has found that the temperature increases from global warming may be twice as bad over what previous climate studies have forecast. This study made use of historical data from previous geological periods when Earth’s climate was 0.5°C-2°C warmer than the 19th Century’s pre-industrial average, illustrating that the consequences of runaway global warming could spell the collapse of many ecosystems, ranging from the Sahara Desert becoming green, to tropical regions converting to a fire-prone savanna.

The terrible fires predicted on the west coast in that book started to happen this year, and the great midwestern drought will inevitably follow, when I cannot tell. But with arctic temperatures soaring beyond all expectation, even beyond belief, it must happen. With it will come reduced grains production and, quite possibly, for the first time in American history, food shortages.
