I was surprised there was no mention of sea level rise and the dislocations that will result on coastlines around the world. And because this has such a long time constant, this will be issue that goes on and one. That is going to be a quite expensive impact to adapt to.
On water, one could assume desalination will become less expensive and food growing will be hydroponic, etc. I think the ecosystem and species loss issue is likely much more serious than mentioned‹going to Cretaceous 6 C or so higher temperature would likely really cause dislocations and disruptions of interactions and linkages within ecosystems. Ocean acidification is likely also to cause at least some disruptions of marine ecosystems, etc.--not just coral reefs, or at least there is risk of much more. And if it keeps going, we¹ll all be wanting homes on Greenland and Antarctica.
