The prediction for the next 50-75 years if the current trend continues is that ocean levels will rise 30-40 feet worldwide. Europe will fall back into an ice age, resulting in 30-40 degrees lower temperatures there. Southern Africa will become desert just like northern Africa. Much of the United States will also become desert just like the Southwest. Much of Southeast Asia and the Southeast United States will be under water. And overall, the supply of drinking water worldwide will become much smaller.
Regardless of what you believe the cause is, this is what is going to happen in the next 50-75 years if the trend of the last 30 years continues.

The best part of this discussion is that everyone is supposed to believe it. In fact:
The Weather Channel’s (TWC) Heidi Cullen, who hosts the weekly global warming program "The Climate Code," is advocating that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) revoke their "Seal of Approval" for any television weatherman who expresses skepticism that human activity is creating a climate catastrophe.

So, if a person doesn't believe (something that can't be proven), then they shouldn't be certified. Nothing like free-thinking and free-speech, eh? Why would there be a need for that if it's so obvious?
