As scientists try to project the effects of climate change into the future, many of these forecasts only go as far as 2100, a year beyond which the alterations to our environment become much harder to predict. Here is a breakdown of what we can expect our world to look like in 2100:

Acidification of Earth’s oceans will give seawater refreshing citrus kick



Extinction of 80 percent of world’s wildlife to be slightly offset by couple new species of lizard



Atmosphere visibly bubbling



Vast arid landscape will necessitate the creation of 1,000 new words for the color brown



Increased competition for shrinking habitats will finally allow biologists to determine which Arctic species wants it most



Temperature of car steering wheel up 18 percent



Disappearance of idyllic mountaintop glaciers set between two picturesque peaks may force beverage companies to bottle water from other sources



Far more barren desert flats for land speed record chasers



Appearance of lush, water-filled mirages full of scantily clad men and women to occur 500 times more often



Rising sea levels will force millions of dads to haul the boat lift in another few feet



Smog to get nice reddish-orange tint



Not too bad inside ExxonMobil Executive Cooling Dome
