    Those unhinged eco-terrorists at... (checks notes)... leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm, Goldman Sachs, released a 34-page analysis of the effects of climate change. And the results are terrifying. Link above

    Some highlights?:
    • A Goldman Sachs report on the effects of climate change on cities across the world makes for grim reading.
    • The report, released earlier this month, said rising temperatures would lead to "changing disease patterns," "more intense and longer-lasting heatwaves," "more destructive weather events," and "pressure on the availability and quality of water for drinking and agriculture."
    Water. "Half of the world's population will live in water-stressed areas as soon as 2025," Goldman said, citing the World Health Organization. "Even in non-stressed areas, the quality of surface water could deteriorate as more rain and storms drive erosion and the release of toxins. These dynamics could affect everything from the availability of drinking water for people to a shortage of water for livestock and crops (with negative effects for the food supply) to decreases in hydroelectric power generation."
