What will happen due to climate change?

When will the major changes of climate change occur i.e. food shortage

floods? How many years, decades ?What will happen due to climate change?
It depends on how much we reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. If we successfully reduce them, we can avoid the worst impacts from climate change like food shortages. If we fail, then we'll see things like increased heat waves, droughts, food and water shortages, desertification, large-scale species extinction, sea level rise, etc. As for when it happens, that's a very difficult question to answer. Most of the worst effects probably won't happen until mid-century at the earliest, but things like droughts and floods will happen increasingly frequently along the way.



See the link below for details.What will happen due to climate change?
not in our lifetime.
Actually, during the Medieval Warming Period the population exploded. The temperatures then were higher than they currently are. Food shortages come about during cold periods where the North can not grow enough food. As for floods, they happen every year no matter the temperature usually in the Spring.
One could always pay their climate change tax, and it will all magically go away!
