Take what you have learned from the scientists and imagine the world in a few decades from now, a few degrees warmer, with all the extreme
weather, desertification, ocean acidification, mass migration,
conflict over energy supplies, fresh water and so on, that have already begun, and that will only get worse the more we destabilize our climate system with greenhouse gases.
