Assertions difficult to believe. A journalist should report facts and references to scientific theories.
That “a 5-6℃ rise in average global temperatures might be enough to annihilate most of Earth’s living creatures” is not consistent with what we know on past climate changes (e.g.: extinction rate during recent ice ages).
Why the warming should cause water scarcity? We know that past warm ages were wetter and cold ages dryier than present climate (logical: higher temperature = more evaporation = more rain). Why should this time happen the opposite?
Why grain yields should drop? when huge areas of land should become arable in Canada and Russia. Which regions will become too hot to become unsuitable for any food crop?
The worst hurricanes recorded in history occurred at the end of the 15th and beginning of 16th cnturies. A couple of strong hurricanes dont’t provide enough statistically valid data to show that they represent a variation of the average strenght.
