Climate Change: The Ultimate Impact

An article over at BBC News discusses the effects of climate change, including:

• Higher rates of malnutrition, as agriculture struggles to cope with changing conditions
• Higher rates of disease, as new geographic areas become accessible to bacteria and viruses
• Higher likelihood of conflict, as dwindling water and other resources force people to look to new sources and/ or take from their neighbors
• Energy prices should jump, as resource scarcity and associated conflict makes things worse in places like the Middle East, where tensions are already high
  
• Most devastating of all, Starbucks warns that climate change is expected to threaten the earth's coffee supplies in 20-30 years time.
  

Now THERE'S a catastrophe waiting to happen.
