re: #816 LudwigVanQuixote

I was trying to answer the part I viewed as actually answerable first, but I wanted to address these paras with a question of my own:

Then at the other end of the spectrum we have a total loss of the poles quite in 100-150 years and the desertification of much of America’s bread basket.

Now I personally think that if we do nothing it will be somewhere in the middle in the next 100-150 years.

That always strikes me as contradictory. Were the poles to melt, surely we are talking more free moisture, not less; so, why desertification of the bread basket? That simply does not make sense.

Why not the restoration of inland seas? Or extreme growth of wetlands?
