The pre-Holocene climate shifts seem to be well accounted for by dynamics of glacial meltoff, freshwater discharge, and the impact on the ocean circulation... all of which is less of an issue in an initially warm climate, and the AR5 generation models give no indication that the overturning circulation will be significantly
impacted over the coming century.
The American Climate Prospectus addressed several key climate
impacts over the coming century, including increases in heat - related mortality, increases in the amount of coastal property exposed to flooding, declines in labor productivity, increases in energy expenditures, and declines in agricultural...
