Question

As the world gets hotter will everyone's skin tone darken and in the end will everyone be black.

Answer 1

'Cept we do wear clothes, hats and stuff, making your whole point moot.

Skin color does not depend on temperature, but on the quantity of sunlight you get.

Answer 2

in the end, few will be alive to acknowledge the difference. they will be to busy trying to stay alive.

Answer 3

No we will all melt like ice cream on a sunny day.

Answer 4

i agree with the guy below my response!

but

if there actually were people left then, i think white skin will stay, no matter the temperatures. regardless of the weather outside, genes will play a big role in skin tone. there is a BIG difference between someone who is black and someone who is really tan. being really tan might be the result of hot temperatures, but the idea that everyone would become black is not probabal.

Answer 5

yes that what scientist predict.There will be a small number of light people that might try to preserve there skin

Answer 6

skin color and UV ray exposure are related, but also people who lives in tropical areas(center part of the planet) will always be more exposed to this type of radiation. If the ozone layer is gradually damaged over a long enoug period of time, then we might be darker. but the rate of damage over our planet is far ahead than our genetics can evolve to make up the increase on radiation.

On simple terms, we are causing so much damage,so fats that our evolution will not be able to compensate.

we would cook to extintion.

Answer 7

Quite a dilemma as skin tone is not related to temperature but to uv exposure as per other answers. An interesting approach is that all 'human' ancestors were originally dark skinned, being from the African plains, however as they moved northwards and sun exposure was reduced, those with a lighter skin tone had an advantage as the vitamin D produced from exposure to uv light is vital to good health.

As this process of 'lightening' of northern population skin tones has occured in only 40,000 years, it follows that over a similar period, the population of countries such as Australia with an immigrant 'white' population, will become as dark as the Aboriginal population through natural selection.

Answer 8

By the time that has happened, everyone will be one race.

Answer 9

the world is getting hotter -this means the amount of ultraviolet rays releasing are increasing day by day. and so there will be question of survival rather than becoming black

Answer 10

Since we only have accurate weather information going back for about 200 years, we cannot predict with any accuracy what may happen if and when sea and air temperatures rise by say 2 to 4C over time.

Gobal Warming or Climate Change, is taking place far more rapidly than was originally predicted.

The problem with the science is that it is mixed up with politics.  This means that a very large section of the populations within the democracies remain unconvinced or at best, sceptical.

I'm British and therefore a natural born sceptic.  And, I do not expect to turn black any time soon either.  Although judging by the Summer here in London thus far, I think we may have a very long wait before it even shows signs of being remotely 'warm'.  Yesterday the daytime temp got up to a monster raving 68 Farenheit - not sure if that even registers in Centigrade.

So there.

Unbeliever and heretic.

Answer 11

Heat doesn't cause melanin to be produced, it's actually UV light. Though the sun's ray's do cause heat, they also contain UV light, by that time no one will notice, and it probably will be more about surviving.

Answer 12

=O

Interesting 'question' Lol.

But, no, no, no! Not if we use sunscreen. Haha. But no,no,no Lol....we'd just get sun burned!
