“There are points where if the corals die they never come back,” Gates said. “This acidifies the ocean and all aqua ecosystems die when this acidity rises. When forests dry up, they are exposed to both fires and infestations that kill all trees, leaving you with a lot fewer trees. When the sea level rises, the beaches disappear. “

Without changes in global practices: “By the end of the century, it will essentially no longer be viable at the equator … [leading to] The instability of hundreds of millions of people trying to get out of the regions where much of the world’s population lives, and especially the poorest in the world, ”he said.

Why do we know that if corals die and trees burn away and the equator becomes uninhabitable, if we release a little anthropogenic CO2, Bill is wrong?
Because none of this happened the last time, the CO2 levels were slightly increased.
Paleoclimatologists know that the world is not unusually warm right now, but is currently enduring quaternary glaciation, a period of unusual cold that began 2.58 million years ago. In the overall paleoclimate record, only four other comparable age groups were identified.
