Which places in the world will be most dramatically affected by global climate change?
Where can I find a list of places that will be most affected by global climate change?
I’m mostly looking for a list of coastal areas that will be affected by rising sea levels, but even a list of cities/nations that will be affected in an indirect way will suffice.
AGW deniers need not answer. I already know you’re too dense to understand ![]()
The sites below should give you quite a bit of information.
Tuvalu, The Maldives, Bihar
Ohh and the ice caps
Aspen, Colorado
Tibet
YOU DA MAN !
It has already affected the only thing it can, your mind.
AGW as the concept is expressed results from feel good, save the world inspiration where somebody that does not really understand what is happening in the worlds climate and making an unfounded decision that a natural fluctuation is something bad. If this person was better educated with a wider range of study these errors would not happen. These kinds of judgement errors result from the current practice of compartmented narrow specialization that can easily be corrected by a broadly educated generalist who understands the spectrum of natural variation. The problem we face today is panic actions being taken because those responsible for decisions just not having the education or experience to see the math and judgement errors that the warmers have made.
So it is not dangerous and never will be, several points have to be made here in that the disasters being promoted just cannot happen as they claim. Up front the Arctic Ocean was more free of ice and easier to navigate during WWII than it is currently because it was hotter for a longer time in the 30s and 40s than it was in the 90s. Were the oceans higher then than they are now? As to ocean acidity, it is the reduction in Co2 in the water from the oceans warming up that is making the oceans less alkaline than they were when they were colder and this release from warm waters of Co2 is why atmospheric levels are increasing. There is no cause for being alarmed as every type of animal that is supposed to be endangered survived an even warmer period only 70 years ago and several even hotter periods in the last 8,000 years some lasting up to 1,000 years.
Try these well recognized science professionals who are not to shy to stick their heads out and speak truth.

Just found this very intriguing university study report on solar effects and it appears the sun is the major driver of climate changes because of newly discovered and documented solar cycles beyond the better known 11 year one.

Any place that gets flooded at normal high tide right now because the maximum sea level rise in over the next 100 years is less than 6 inches.
If we are looking at tidal changes, Islands will be most affected. Firstly, any rise in sea level takes away available living space and also farmland. it also can make fresh water supplies brackish (salty) and therefore unfit for drinking. Rises in sea levels may also bring changes to the currents around those islands which could cause erosion in places that were not in danger from erosion before. We’ve already seen evidence of this taking place in Tuvlu and in the Torres Strait Islands which are one of the territories of Australia (between Queensland and Papua New Guinea.)
Places at or below sea level will all be vulnerable.
That is just sea levels. Then we have the effects of climate change on crops and other food production, and on wildlife and flora. A small change in temperature is all it takes to break a fragile ecosystem. If it is too hot, mosses, fungi, small insects etc may be in peril and therefore those that feed on them, any flowers that they pollinate etc etc etc.
