Yeah big problems.
Thing is, its so hard to predict how the weather will change in the response to the climate change. I mean, some regions of the world might get more hot, others might get more cold, more rain, less rain, etc. These are big problems for sure. We'll have to mitigate and adapt.
I know water is going to be (and is becoming) a big concern in Oz. Hydrogeologists are on the list of skilled immigrants thing. Its going to be a big problem everywhere really.
Sea level is probably going to be a big concern too. For a start, most of the Maldives are less than 2m above sea level not be mention Bangledesh, blah blah.
Oh well.
Lets um, not think about it too much, its depressing. I'm thinking in terms of my career (selfish I know) but at least there might be some work out there for me in the coming years :o) Otherwise it'll be the oil industry. Which is slightly ironic I know.
