Sea levels will rise 10 metres.
Nothing extraordinary about that. Seas have been much higher in the past. If all the ice melted seas would rise another 60 or 80 metres. Ten metres is nothing by comparison. If we keep burning fossil fuels seas could easily rise that much in the next few centuries.
Polar bears will drown.
There have already been documented cases of polar bears drowning. If they get stuck on an iceberg in the middle of the sea, and have too far to swim to the next iceberg or land then they'll either drown or die of exhaustion. Nothing extraordinary about that statement.
The glaciers will all melt.
That's not what the science says. If you remove the word 'all' then you'll get closer to what the science is saying. Science tells us that ice melts when it gets warm enough. Already more glaciers today are receding than are growing.
Increasing storms.
I don't know that the science is necessarily saying that. It does suggest that storms will become more intense. Whether some types (eg tropical cyclones) will become more frequent or not is still subject to research.
Malaria will spread in the UK.
I think from the past few 'claims' you must be getting your 'science' from the popular press, not from scientific sources. Yes, malaria and other diseases will likely be prevalent wherever the climate conditions are conducive. So if, for example, dengue fever likes tropical conditions then if the tropical conditions move further south then dengue fever could also spread further south. That idea is by no means extraordinary.
A small rise in temp will kill billions but nobody has ever frozen to death.
To have to make up something as silly as that shows even more that you aren't going to scientific sources.
We must destroy our industries because you say so.
That's not science. Maybe it's you providing supporting evidence that denialism mostly boils down to money and ideology.
Global warming fuels sex trade.
An interesting hypothesis. Have you any first-hand evidence?
Need I go on?
If you wanted to show that you are personally incredulous of climate science findings then yes. You haven't come up with anything so far that shows that climate science is making 'extraordinary claims'. Some of what you've listed hasn't got anything to do with climate science. Some of it is just showing that you find the obvious incredible - eg ice melts when it gets hot enough.
