What will things be like decades from now if human-caused environmental degradation is not reversed?

Question

If Global Warming and pollution continue unabated, what will the world be like in 50 or 100 years?

Answer 1

Retards will inhabit the earth and we'll have denier/believer wars.

Answer 2

Global warming is a vastly overblown scare.  Not only is it unlikely to have anywhere near the projected effects, those that it does do are likely to be more benign than harmful.

Other environmental degradation is an entirely different matter.  Some of the worlds most densely populated places, India, China, West Africa, and Central America, face significant soil and water quality problems.  This could lead to large scale starvation and serious social disruption.  At a minimum China and India with their growing wealth will drive up food prices by buying from other areas.  West Africa is of particular concern, we could see a meltdown of society that sends a 100 million people to the brink.

Answer 3

U bought Gw. U have troubles . Consult with your shrink . There is a problem.

Answer 4

Some places will get flooded and others drought.

We'll also get record heat waves that will literally kill tens of thousands of people.

Air quality will require many to wear masks while many experience an increase in asthma.

There will also continue to be an increase in tornadoes, hurricanes, and  tsunamis in places and seasons many would not expect.

We'll also have increased famine since they'll be inevitable crop failures.

Also there will be mass displacements of people from the coastal and island areas.

There will be even less species on the earth than there are today (as high as 27,000) a year. This will among other things impact our sense of joy as well as medical and other uses being lost forever.
