My favorite setting is semi-near future after climate change has shaken up the global balance of nations. Third-world USA, palm trees in London, stuff like that.

So imagine how happy I was today to find that some artists made a bunch of images of what London could look like in the future. I've never been, but it looks pretty neat.

Anyway, got any recommendations for books (either RPGs or serious literature) about said coming problems?

Blue Planet is mostly based around another planet, but they don't describe earth

Not an RPG, but the setting for the book"The Water Knife" would make for a great noir/hard boiled campaign setting
>>
>>51268045
I've had some "Worst Case Scenario" ideas

Namely that the thing that fucks everyone over isn't the sea level rise but the increasing desertification of prime crop producing regions. So half the population takes to the newly expanded and more temperate seas in floating mega-structures while the rest herd into haphazardly constructed arcologies inland.

Just need to cram it into a suitably cyberpunky system and I should be able to run a game for it.

My group has a person working on a doctorate in Oceanography, one guy with a masters in Agri-science, and myself being another grad student in geology so I might be pandering to the audience a little in this setting instead of going on hard realism

>>51268045

Apocalypse World, though without all the weird mutants and such from radiation, you lose out most of the point of running it over GURPs.

Apocalypse World would be a fairly obvious choice.

I would have assumed that Fantasy Flight's "The End of the World" rpg series would include a The Road/Children of Men/Mad Mad scenario, but maybe ecological collapse doesn't sell as well as another Zombie setting.

The Windup Girl by the same author is also a great post-global warming setting. Also fairly grim-dark.

>>51271333
Algal blooms can be Very Bad Things, however, as they can rapidly deplete water of oxygen or introduce toxic chemicals to fisheries, or simply get all over everything and kill fish by covering gills in slime.

Ironically, algal blooms are also one of the more serious "quick fix" ideas for high atmospheric CO2 levels. Iron starved areas of the ocean could be easily seeded with ferrous dust to create massive blooms, absorbing and sequestering carbon as the dead algal blooms sink into the deep ocean.
>>
>>51271406

So, you're saying that algae is part of the Earth's natural immune system?
>>
>>51268045
What about a pathological apocalypse RPG now that the first anti-biotic resistant superbug has gone viral.
>>
>>51272541
An aggressive, destructive immune system. Using algae blooms to fix global warming would irrevocably fuck up the feeding patterns of pretty much all migratory sea species, and most would die.

Pop growth is now people living longer. Greatest warming is from farming and industrial emmissions. Therefore if we ate a more vegetable based (inb4 vegan, meat weekly is fine, that'd cut huge amounts) and bought less products, used more renewables, replanted we would be on the road to ok.

Instead we have Americans...

I love Shadowrun but I think they've really missed out by not explicitly doing much in the setting with global warming.

Like, imagine a future Dubai where the augmented Emiratis can survive the oppressive heat just fine, but the kafala workers and SINless are crammed into air conditioned domes, where an insurgency by eco-Islamists is brewing.

Or imagine a half-sunken Miami with Jacques Cousteau style underwater habitats and speargun fights. Yeah, Miami Vice was cool and all, but I'd just use Havana for that shit.

Or even, imagine a corporate resource rush in a frontier West Antarctic. You could tie it in with the warmer Fourth World climate indicated by the Piri Reis map from Dawn of the Artifacts, do some artifact runs as well. Would these not be cool?

>>
Global warming isn't really deniable. Last few times itt happened it was driven by meteor strikes, volcanic eruptions, and the black plague, but the effects are documented

What's impossible to judge with 100% accuracy is how much and how fast we're really affecting the planet, but projections aren't good. That being said a DEGREE of global warming is actually good for us and is what supports our mass agriculture, but what the future looks like will be different. Coastal regions will move or vanish. In some ways it's maybe inevitable, it was always stupid of us to build in certain areas affected by hurricanes and flooding, having those areas submerged may just be poetic justice. Increases in algar may be good for us as we can use it for food and fuel.

I think humanity and civilization will survive just fine as long as we keep pushing our technology to adapt to the changing conditions. Some animal species may be lost forever and that's a shame but, that's life.

It took thousands of years for the earth's temperature to fluctuate by the same amount its changed in just the last century, but in the past its been a very gradual curve while its currently showing no sign of slowing down.

>Also global warming scientists get caught fabricating data that's later published All. The. Fucking. Time. It's all political
Global warming isn't considered a political issue in any country besides the US, and it only is there because of lobbying by oil companies run by sociopaths with a "fuck the planet, I'll be dead by then" mentality. This is no different from when big tobacco companies who tried to hide the health hazards of their products, and we know how that turned out.

Try fucking harder. Come back when you know literally anything about the topic at hand, kiddo. We've proven CO2 has a NEGATIVE asymptotic effect on temperature beyond 40 PPM. We've proven that CO2 increases LAG temperature increases. We've proven that vegetation only grows larger with increases of CO2, even up to 900 PPM (beyond the "HURR WE VENUS BECAUSE I SAY SO HURR" bullshit pushed by the paid shill crowd). The rate of sea level rise has never been SLOWER in the last 11,000 years. It's rising at 1.6mm per year, so says fucking NOAA. There will be no flooding. There's no temperature increase in the last century, so say NOAA and NASA. Look at the goddamn data with your own eyes. Not charts–go to their FTP servers, get the data for yourself, and plug it the fuck into a spreadsheet on your own. You're being lied to and I've proven it.

You're absolutely right, I can't refute you.

If your position is the notion that this data isn't and can't be factual, because for the past 30 years the scientific community has widely been participant in some kind of conspiracy to promote an environmentalist agenda for, shit your pick of either feel good or monetary reasons, then there is no way to discuss the topic: ultimately all your arguments will boil down to "the numbers are lying" or "the scientists are lying" or "*you* are lying", which is of course unprovable. Well, maybe not.

Anyway, Ethos is an important part of persuasion and shouldn't be discarded out of hand. Establish your credibility please. If not being trained in climate science, what related fields are you trained in? Have you taken a statistics course at least?

Humans have too much experience surviving I'm all kinds of shitty places not to survive global warming, not to mention there is a shit load of land in Canada and Russia that may become livable if they were warmer.

The question becomes, to what extent does quality of life decrease, and to what extremes will we go to secure what remains? Can technology save us? Will war end it all before mass extinctions get a chance?

>If we do get a new Maunder Minimum, expect the Thames to freeze over for a while, crop yields to plummet (despite atmospheric CO2 still being high, up to 3ºC of cooling globally, and yeah, more sea ice at the poles, which will probably arrest sea level.
>Remember that during the Medieval Warm Period that sea level was miles further inland than it is today. There are formerly shoreline castles in England that are surrounded by grassland now.

Alright, setting that aside for a moment, if solar activity is currently causing ice to melt, which is what accounts for sea level rise, then shouldn't the planet be warming?

I mean, it takes energy to turn ice into water (and keep it like that). Shouldn't that be raising the net global temperature, or what happens to that energy so that the net is zero warming.

This is insanity. Even an extreme case like Harlech Castle, the distance from old sea line to new sea line is less than a single mile. And that's in a place where post glacial rebound has caused the land to raise unrelated to the sea level.

I'll pulled the Climate Sensitivity articles from post-1990 from Science or AGU journals. The IPCC estimate is a climate sensitivity estimate of 3K+/-1.5K.

>Heat capacity, time constant, and sensitivity of Earth's climate system, Schwartz, JGR, +0.9-2.9 °C
This response to the comments reaches a conclusion of 1.9K +/- 1K, which is not inconsistent with the IPCC.

>Aerosol radiative forcing and climate sensitivity deduced from the Last Glacial Maximum to Holocene transition, Chylek et al, GRL, +1.3-2.3 °C
The authors write in their response to comments that their results may be an underestimate. The discrepancy is largely due to differences estimates of aerosol forcing during the ice ages. I have not followed what further research has shown.

>Climate Sensitivity Estimated from Temperature Reconstructions of the Last Glacial Maximum, Schmittner et al, Science, +1.7-2.6 °C
The authors write in their response to the comments that their updated analysis "tentatively supports the conclusion in (1) that structural model uncertainties (in particular, formulations of atmospheric heat transport) may have led to systematic underestimation of ECS2xC in (2)."

>Improved constraints on 21st-century warming derived using 160 years of temperature observations, N. P. Gillett et al, GRL, +1.3-1.8 °C
The authors explicitly say they are estimating TCR (transient climate response) rather than ECS (equilibrium climate sensitivity), so the comparison doesn't fly in the first place. This does not contradict the IPCC results.

Technically there's a disclaimer saying that "climate sensitivity estimates where the mean does not exceed 2°C (low end of the IPCC range) or the high end of the range does not exceed 3°C (the IPCC mean) are considered to support skeptical arguments for a low climate sensitivity" so that articles listed here need not contradict the IPCC at all, in which case one wonders what skeptical arguments are actually being bolstered by these articles.

Try China, you stupid fuck. Every province of China has a higher population than most European countries.

They open 3 more power stations every week, while building ludicrously expensive wind turbines and solar panels for gullible westerners. Fortunately they might run out of water and have to stop expanding.

The same is true of India, but somehow we should let them industrialize because the west already did it (on a massively fucking smaller scale) 200 years ago.

I know some problems humanity is facing. You can look into them on your own:
* Nuclear proliferation. This is something much of the world would rather do without, but our president for life elect has advocated for it. His BFF, Putin has done the same.
* Disease.
** Bacteria are unpleasantly likely to have resistance to antibiotics, in part because of mankind's irresponsible use of them (such as using them as steroids in the food industry). I've read some things about answers to this problem, one of which is phage therapy that uses a phage that targets the pumps that bacteria use to expel antibiotics. The disease will then be faced with 2 evolutionary pressures. 1 get rid of the pumps to adapt to the phage. 2 keep or acquire pumps to deal with antibiotics. With no way of winning, the infection is defeated.
** We can travel across the world at remarkable speed, and we bring pathogens with us. Also we sometimes bring invasive species.
* Over-fishing
* Medical knowledge- this is a double edged sword. The benefits of medicine are obvious. However advanced medical knowledge could be used to facilitate very powerful biological warfare.
*Ocean acidification- CO2 dissolves into sea water making it more acidic. This allows it to dissolve more solvents (of a certain kinds at least) before becoming saturated. One of these solvents is what coral make their skeletons out of.

*Fun* consequence of carbon pollution you might not be aware of. Allergies! We are dealing with more pollen every year because we have more CO2 in the air. I don't remember if it's the CO2 itself or if it's the change of the climate, but if you have allergies and you feel like its getting worse every year, you're right!

That isn't my area expertise. But MAD did arguably keep the USSR and the USA from going to war for decades. I'm under the impression Putin wants us to become isolationists so we aren't in his way when Russian interests conflict with those of the USA's. I'm also not under the impression that Putin is suicidal. That said I did read that an antagonist relationship with Putin's Russia wouldn't just be Cold War, part 2.

tl;dr I think I know what will happen if we don't, and it's not something I'm comfortable with. I'm less certain of the outcome of if we do.
