I think people on the planet are blowing too much hot air into the environment causing global warming. That's my theory.
So much water is locked up in glaciers that rising sea levels would eliminate Florida & more if they melted.
This should be taken into account when designing long term public policy.
Man will have to adapt like always to natural disasters or not. There's no gurantee for the human species. maybe a meteor will hit the earth before the global flooding. Whatever happens, mankind will deal with it or he won't.

No problem, beer will save the world either way.
One major volcanic eruption and we're back in the Ice age. A meteor strike far worse heating. Major solar flare and no electricity. Global warming is the slowest way to death especially if you believe Hawkins. We only have 100 years and then the earth will fix herself.
Well I'm certainly glad to hear that, but how will this come about?
You didn't hear, Hawkins claim if we don't populate another planet within 100 years we are all dead. Once we die mother earth is all good.

Perhaps the more immediate threat to consider is how much fresh water even the more technologically advanced countries like in Europe and North America depend on gradual (year round) melting and run-off of mountain snow and glaciers. If it doesn't build up and grow during fall and winter, then it is dry by late spring. Crops we live on don't grow without a continuous water supply.

You're so right, but there's far more to a warming global climate. The problem is, there's no convincing the willful ignorant. If someone in their party (who are in bed with fossil fuel industry) has to sit down for an interview and play the role of village idiot, then their voters call anything that contradicts the obvious, fake news. There's just no exchange of ideas with someone plugging their ears calling you a liar. And Democrats live on the coasts. Maybe a good dustbowl would help.

Droughts. Stronger Hurricanes/Typhoons. More inclimate weather generally. Failed crops. Famine. More wars. And yeah, global ocean currents could change EVERYTHING.

Another Ice Age is approaching. Have you noticed how strange the weather has been lately? I think in Russia, it's been the coldest May in 100 years or something. Within a few decades, we will start witnessing consistent cooling, that's my estimate. Until then, we will experience temperature swings and odd weather patterns like cold springs. The glaciers will begin expanding possibly during the lifetimes of some here, including myself.
