UN Report: Climate Changes Overwhelming

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-getting-hot-in-here dept.

iONiUM (530420) writes "'The impacts of global warming are likely to be "severe, pervasive and irreversible", a major report by the UN has warned.' A document was released by the IPCC outlining the current affects on climate change, and they are not good. For specific effects on humans: 'Food security is highlighted as an area of significant concern. Crop yields for maize, rice and wheat are all hit in the period up to 2050, with around a tenth of projections showing losses over 25%.'"

    So scenario A It's true and we're all fucked and can't do anything about it. Thus we're arguing over..nothing.

    Science: If we can't change it, well, fuck it.
