Major negative effects of climate change are here now and they're only getting worse. We've gathered some notable effects of climate change below.
1. Climate change will be insanely expensive.
2. Hundreds of millions of people may be displaced by 2050.
3. Dengue and malaria could spread in the U.S.
4. Western wildfires could burn up to eight times as much land by 2100.
5. An additional 8% of the world population will experience water scarcity by 2100.
6. Hurricanes could become up to 11% more intense and 20% wetter by 2100.
7. Four times as many New Yorkers could live in areas that flood by 2050.
8. Millions of people and trillions in assets are at risk in coastal cities.
9. 136 of the world's most historic places could be in jeopardy.
10. Global wheat and maize yields are already beginning to decline.
11. Some small island nations could be destroyed.
12. 100% of reefs may be at risk of extinction by 2050.
13. Within 300 years, 88% of New Orleans could be underwater.
14. Increasing droughts will make the driest regions even drier.
15. 63% of major wine regions could be jeopardized by 2050.
16. Some reptiles species could turn mostly female, potentially leading to their extinction.
17. Atlanta and New York could see twice as many days of thunderstorms a year by 2100 from the 1962 to 1989 average.
18. Many countries are losing their main dry season water source.
19. Air Pollution in California could created a serious public health hazard.
20. Equatorial regions and parts of the Antarctic will see up to a 50% decrease in their fisheries.
21. Some animals are shrinking.
22. An additional 20 million more children will go hungry by 2050.

Cowards.
I didn’t want to alarm anybody, but, you let the cat out of the bag. Now there will be mass rioting. Loose lips sink ships.
What’s with all this doom and gloom? Global warming will cause the seas to rise rapidly, so if you live in Cloudcroft, NM, you’ll have beach front property in a few years.
“13. Within 300 years, 88% of New Orleans could be underwater. It would be already if it wasn’t for the levies.”
“Levies” are taxes-—I think you mean “levees”.
.
Awesome!
22 completely hedged statements with no basis in fact and simply conjecture to gin up fear.
“(Do they have Levies on Levees? Probably.)”
—
Don’t know about that,but I’m sure they have Chevies on the levees.

Sounds like the plot of a really scary movie which everyone would love; too bad there IS NO man-made climate change.
That’s not the first time for socialist garbage from Business Insider.
26. Birds will start to roost higher up in trees
27. Kids will want to go swimming 30 seconds sooner than before
28. Field mice will move 200 feet higher up the hill to nest
29. Cold beer will turn warm 2 sips sooner
Well, monkeys “could” fly out of my butt.
That would not be good.
If I am real lucky I will see 2050. (I would be in my nineties) Unless major breakthroughs in aging are made I will not see 2100.

Self-styled “global-warming” guru Al Gore (shown) and a gaggle of supposed “climate scientists” have egg all over their faces — big time. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, Gore publicly and very hysterically warned that the North Pole would be “ice-free” by around 2013 because of alleged “man-made global warming.” Citing “climate” experts, the government-funded BBC hyped the mass hysteria, running a now-embarrassing article under the headline: “Arctic summers ice-free ‘by 2013’.” Other establishment media outlets did the same.
Well, 2013 is almost over, and contrary to the alarmist “predictions” by Gore and what critics refer to as his “doomsday cult,” the latest satellite data show that Arctic ice cover has actually expanded 50 percent over 2012 levels. In fact, during October, sea-ice levels grew at the fastest pace since records began in 1979. Experts predict the expansion to continue in the years to come, leaving global-warming alarmists scrambling fiendishly for explanations to save face — and to revive the rapidly melting climate hysteria.
In September, meanwhile, data also showed that sea ice levels in Antarctica had expanded to record levels for the second year in a row. Of course, by now, virtually everyone who has been following news about “global warming” — now more often referred to as “climate change” owing to public-relations concerns — also knows that global temperatures have not risen for some 17 years. The spectacular lack of warming demolished all 73 of the “climate models” used by the United Nations to push its controversial theories.
According to the dubious theories and predictions advanced by Al Gore and other alarmists, though, none of this should be happening. Speaking to an audience in Germany five years ago, Gore — sometimes ridiculed as “The Goracle” — alleged that “the entire North Polarized [sic] cap will disappear in 5 years.” While the original video of that particular failed prediction appears to have been scrubbed from the Internet, conservative bloggers managed to track down the same footage from other sources. “Five years,” Gore emphasized again, is “the period of time during which it is now expected to disappear.”
I would pay to see the shrinking animals, plus take the tour of the canals of Manhattan.
Hey, look at the shrinking monkey — oh okay that one just soared out of Al Gore’s ass.
I can live with everything you listed...except the beer getting warmer. We all must live in caves heated by a government approved picture of a fire to prevent global warming!!
