Plan B 4.0 Ch.3

"Geographically, the oceans will expand and the continents will shrink."

This is crazy to think that this will actually happen sooner then expected.  It's a scary thing to come to realize, but it's true.  I believe the way we are using this planet isn't making the circumstance any better.  I think we are actually speeding up this process.  Once the continents shrink they will basically end up disappearing altogether.  The oceans are so large and powerful that they will push the continents to compress and no longer be there.  I think the ocean is sometimes scary when it comes to things like this.

"The rapidly expanding supply of cheap oil led to an explosive worldwide growth in food production, population, urbanization, and human mobility." 

I always hear crazy things about oil spills and how they ruin lots of things.  They explode and cause oil spills which damage animal life and plant life.  Now oil is that they are supplying cheap oil and it's leading to the growth of food production, population, urbanization, and human mobility.  This surprisingly is a good thing.  This cheap oil is providing us with a lot of beneficial things.  A growth in these things means a great deal to us and the world.

"Such intense heat waves also take a direct human toll."

Well yes heat waves are an intense factor to consider.  I know that the record breaking heat back then cost a lot of lives all over the world.  When it gets too hot out it can affect the way we live.  Such intense heat waves are damaging.  It isn't fun going out in such hot weather.  In today's world, the heat is getting worse and worse every year.  Global warming is upon us and sneaking up on us.  It'll be here before we know it.  Us humans can't handle that intense heat and how we're handling it now is a miracle if you ask me.

"Ice is melting so fast that even climate scientists are scrambling to keep up with the shrinkage of ice sheets and glaciers."

Ice is melting faster and faster today.  It's terrible to think that the wildlife that lives out in the freezing continents are going to die off.  Since the ice is melting so fast the animals will not have a place to live or be able to get food.  This problem is because of global warming occurring at any time.  It is just getting hotter and hotter and it's causing the ice to melt.  The ice sheets and glaciers are no longer going to be present which is a big deal.
