Climate Crisis (scam) Could Possibly Maybe We Feel Destabilize The Globe Or Something

See, before people drove fossil fueled vehicles and ate delicious cheeseburgers, there was no destabilization of the globe, right? No crisis, no big problems, no wars, no disease outbreaks, nothing, right? (yes, this is Axios, hence the format)

Climate change could destabilize globe through 2040, spy agencies say

Climate change will lead to a less secure, more crisis-prone world that will strain global institutions, according to a major national security assessment released Thursday.

Driving the news: The “Global Trends Report,” produced every four years by the National Intelligence Council, spotlights climate change among the main structural forces shaping the next two decades.

The big picture: Global warming, along with disease outbreaks, financial crises and other forces, will test the “resilience and adaptability” of the international system. There are reasons to believe that many systems large and small may fail under the increased stress.

What they’re saying: “Climate change will increasingly exacerbate risks to human and national security and force states to make hard choices and tradeoffs,” the report states.

See, a minor increase in the global temperature, which has a pretty strong component from land use and the Urban Heat Island effect, which is actually not global, will cause Doom. But, this is not your typical Doomy Prognostication, you guys

Quick take: This is not your typical grim climate report projecting disaster in the year 2100, i.e. the distant future.

• Instead, the climate change we will see through midcentury is already baked into the climate system, thanks to how the oceans absorb and redistribute heat.
• Studies show that even if emissions are sharply reduced now we are still in for additional amounts of warming through mid-century, which will lead to more extreme weather events, sea level rise, and other effects.

See? It’s totally different from all the other prognostications of doom over the past 50 years. But, hey, what can we do?

What is up to us, however, is how we prepare for and respond to such challenges.

• We can strengthen democratic institutions or instead become a more fragmented global community with competing power centers, the report shows.

In other words, we can give even more power to central governments, taking it from smaller government entities (in the U.S. that would be states, counties, and cities) and from The People. Sounds like a great plan, right?
