Watching ABC news.......what the hell is going on with the weather???

80. It only gets worse from here.

By the mid-to-late 2030s, industrial scale farming will become...challenging to put it mildly. Famines will be frequent and widespread. For richer nations, food prices will skyrocket. I shudder to think what will happen to poorer nations. This will put great pressure on governments around the world. Many will fall fairly quickly, resulting in anarchy.

In addition to starvation, there will be severe droughts and severe floods around the world. The melting of the Himalayan glaciers is highly likely to produce war among China, India, and Pakistan -all of whom have depended upon those glaciers for fresh water, and all of whom are armed with nuclear weapons.

We will see more severe weather, with some being unprecedented. Think of the 2010 Northern Hemisphere heatwave. Now imagine that happening every year somewhere in the world...or even several times every year.

The Atlantic hurricane season this year will be interesting and may provide clues as to what will happen with hurricanes in the future. Will the warming sea surface temperatures (which are at an all time high by a large margin) produce dozens of storms or will it produce storms of unprecedented strength or both? We may have a better handle on those questions after the next couple of years.

Summing up: Prepare yourselves. The crash is coming. It is unavoidable.

Good luck to all the young people who will have to pay for the excesses and irresponsibility of older people. I'm sorry.
