about 73 % of Japan is forested, mountainous, and unsuitable for agricultural, industrial, or residential use, as a result, the habitable zones are mainly located in or near coastal areas, so
much so that, there are growing concerns in Japan of the
impact of
climate change on their coastal surroundings, prompting the Japanese government to set up an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to undertake a study on climate change, to provide future projections of coastal erosion based on representative concentration pathway (RCP) sce

How
much can we say
about what society will be like in the future, in order to plan for

much larger
impact if temperatures rise consistently over coming decades.
Psychologists studying
climate communication make two additional (and related) points
about why the warming - snow link is going to be exceedingly difficult for
much of the public to accept: 1) people's confirmation biases lead them to pay skewed attention to weather events, in such a way as to confirm their preexisting beliefs
about climate change (see p. 4 of this report); 2) people have mental models of «global warming» that tend to rule out wintry
impacts.
Participants read a paragraph
about the scientific consensus
about our warming planet, and were asked «If you had to choose, how

impacts of
climate change?»
This is kind of obvious, but it often goes unremarked: Predictions
about the
impacts of
climate change involve politics as
much as physics.
However, a clear understanding of how national emissions reductions commitments affect global
climate change impacts requires an understanding of complex relationships between atmospheric ghg concentrations, likely global temperature
changes in response to ghg atmospheric concentrations, rates of ghg emissions reductions over time and all of this requires making assumptions
about how
much CO2 from emissions will remain in the atmosphere, how sensitive the global
climate change is to atmospheric ghg concentrations, and when the international community begins to get on a serious emissions reduction pathway guided by equity considerations.
It is 3 % in this century according to the economic alarmist Lomborg, during which time GDP grows 300 - 700 %, while
climate change would have large

about poverty should be.

much adverse
impact on the US economy to warrant action.
This is particularly true because if the consensus view is wrong
about the magnitude and timing of
climate change it could be wrong in both directions, that is,
climate change impacts could be
much worse and more rapid than the
impacts identified by IPCC and the US Academy of Sciences even if they also could be less harmful in regard to timing and magnitude.
• Poles to tropics temperature gradient, average temp of tropics over past 540 Ma; and arguably warming may be net - beneficial overall • Quotes from IPCC AR4 WG1 showing that warming would be beneficial for life, not damaging • Quotes from IPCC AR5 WG3 stating (in effect) that the damage functions used for estimating damages are not supported by evidence • Richard Tol's breakdown of economic
impacts of GW by sector • Economic damages of
climate change —
about the IAMs • McKitrick — Social Cost of Carbon
much lower than commonly stated • Bias on
impacts of GHG emissions — Figure 1 is a chart showing 15 recent estimates of SCC — Lewis and Curry, 2015, has the lowest uncertainty range.
