Just in case you’re feeling overly perky this morning, a World Bank report predicts serious doom and gloom for the planet unless global warming is reversed.
It’s way past time to get off fossil fuels, especially coal, and transition to renewable energy or nuclear power (if we have too.)
The report says that the warming will produce massive flooding in parts of Asia, a 50% reduction in the fish catch in southeast Asia, and severe and prolonged drought in Africa.
Or, as Max Follmer put it, Africa will starve, and Asia will drown, with major impacts beginning as soon as 30 years from now.
