Bay Area 2050: How climate change will impact region over next few decades

We have so many micro climates but we need scientist's input, not politicians or business corporations. We need micro detailed solutions.Many areas are pressured to cut down trees, wells are becoming unpredictable, LA should stop housing growth due to water issues.

Just pay more taxes...it'll be fine.

Regarding the fog, as a life long San Franciscan, I noticed the last 15 years that the fog (Carl) is less often than before. To reduce climate changes, every country has to be on the same page.

Maybe we can quit mono-cropping grapes up here in Sonoma/Napa and do something more useful with the amazing growing climate we have.

So good to see that communities are taking action. Every little bit counts. We can’t just wring our hands and be paralyzed by the inevitability of change.

Yeah… we’re screwed 🙂

Wine is a critical food source? Luxury. Stop driving, building, flying and living extreme consumption lives...it's actually gross.

2050 there will be 50 feet ft of shit on every corner😂😂😂😂😂

Impeccably presented. Thank you. Albeit a Dutchman, I grew up in the Bay Area in the '60s and '70s. I now live again in the fatherland in glorious Middelburg. I no longer have a car, and I walk, cycle or take the train everywhere. I am doing what I can to save the planet... in my own small way.

Pretty sad we are leaving a mess for our kids. Beside the massive suburban sprawl into the valleys, wine vines are a toxic huge monoculture that has destroyed much of the trees, bushes, grasses and natural habitat for birds, butterflies, and other wild animals.

Good luck San Fran 😢 With your political environment there are much worse things in your future than the weather

As long as we have an economic structure that depends on continuous growth, we'll keep marching toward failure. The actual fundamental that is relevant is that energy and materials are necessary to provide products and services. Do energy and materials replenish at the rate of consumption? Lol, no. Neglecting the second order effects of the waste products and process of acquiring energy and materials, the whole concept of continuous GDP growth ad infinitum is a fairytale. Is there any serious societal move to address this? Lol, no. We're in for some serious shit.

Will the weather be crazy enough to slow the criminals?

I think we should allow for some waterfront streets to become canals instead.

Rise in temperature chart doesn’t make sense, temperature rise is accelerating and won’t decrease in 2050.

Imo the biggest crisis in the Bay Area is that it is over populated and over priced. Fixing the homelessness problem should be priority #1. Growing up I was taught that if you had a full time job you'd be able to afford to live and have a place of your own even if you were making just minimum wage. The fact that a single person has to make close to $100,000 a year in order to afford living comfortably in the Bay Area is the real disaster.

This big push to force everyone back into the office for work isn’t helping. As more people continue driving and using gas, it’s just making the problems worse. But these older people in top executive positions could care less and they won’t be here to see the aftermath of what they are doing all for the sake of controlling and micromanaging their workforce

What they won't tell you is that sea level is rising ~3mm/yr while San Francisco is subsiding ~10mm/yr.

Optimistic. Decades? No, sorry. Years, maybe. Change by people? Not going to happen. It's been fun tho', right? Well, for humans. The rest of life, not so much. We had the Perfect Paradise, but we used and abused it because we could. And now people can't believe that ALL life is going to suffer for what we have done.

5' defensible space?! That's about 95' short of what is needed in the wildlands.
