I think that in 2070, global warming would have a major impact on our daily lives. Below are things I believe will happen due to global warming:
- The moisture in the air and the temperature will cause the icebergs to melt causing sea levels to rise which will then cause extreme hurricanes and tropical storms killing thousands of people and displacing millions of them. Every day thousands of people would be forced to evacuate to higher grounds if they want to live. Because multiple disasters are happening at the same time it will take months for basic food and water supply to reach those in need.
2. The melting of the permafrost will also release microbes that the human species were never exposed to causing even more health issues. As these are happening to those around the coast, other parts of the world would be so dry that there are droughts everywhere. There will not be enough water to water the plants and to feed the animals and food supply would become a life-threatening issue.
3. Climate change will cause mosquitoes and ticks to reproduce faster and to spread even deadlier diseases. There will be mosquitoes even at previously safe parts affecting all of us. The insurance companies will soon declare bankruptcy leaving millions of people without the resources they need to survive and hospitals will be too overwhelmed and soon turn into hotspots for disease transmissions.
4. Mass migration to less hot areas will cause refugee problems and while people are migrating, due to the lack of food and water supply, people will end up stealing or even killing each other to survive. Global trade will slow down since all the trade routes would have been affected by these disasters and diseases. And the countries who originally export their resources will no longer do so as they would want to leave all the supplies for their own citizens. Lastly, these things would cause income equality to worsen as only the rich can afford to wash their hands, eat uncontaminated food, and get basic necessities and medical attention.
I think that the things people would make would be influenced by these 4 major effects of global warming but with a positive spin to it. For example, seeing hurricanes and floods, people would hope for a beautiful/relaxing, and safe ocean. Seeing the mosquitos, people would hope they are beautiful/colorful birds instead. People would also hope to escape Earth and make things that are space-related.
