And precisely what will that be.

We are boiling the planet. The northern growing line has moved 200 miles north, pack ice has moved 400 miles north. Deer have moved from the Atlin ara all the way to anchorage and elk have moved into Atlin with cougars close behind. Trees are now growing on the north slope and permafrost is melting. Huge amounts of smoke and ash coming from Chinese coal power plants.

The first thing we will see is massive flooding and total melting of arctic sea ice. both are already happening. Norfolk Virginia is already experiencing serious flooding (google it). And one day soon a perfect storm will flood the New York subway. Remember this when it happens as that will be a huge deal. Will they even be able to use it again?

In the last few years the arctic sea ice is at historical lows and ships are for the first time using the ice free northwest passage.

In the antarctic, interestingly, the cold barrier that kept king crab out has now warmed enough that king crabs are invading the area.
