Effects on global warming on the primary sector?

Question

what is the effect of global warming on the primary sector of countries??? how will it affect the economic activities of the country?

thanx alot

Answer 1

Global warming will damage agriculture, and flood coastal areas.

Both things will take enormous amounts of money to fix.  More here:

Answer 2

Global Warming will cause us to advance in the energy field to create cleaner and more efficient energy sources.  The biggest down fall would be rising sea levels where a lot of countries have opened up major development along the oceans a lot of these homes will be destroyed at some point either through rising sea levels or storms.

Answer 3

Well it gives the energy co. an excuse to charge U 3 prices for energy.

Answer 4

global warming scares me !

Answer 5

crops will have a hard time producing as well as in the past

low lying areas will begin to be under water and violent weather patterns will appear as the temp change the gulf and other currents in the ocean will move or stop and the transfer of heat and cold that is normal  will develop a different pattern .

Deserts will change and move to different parts of the world and starvation will become the norm which will bring on conflict as people fight for food.

Answer 6

For some time it was hoped that a positive effect of global warming would be increased agricultural yields, because of the role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis, especially in preventing photorespiration, which is responsible for significant destruction of several crops. recent evidence is that global yields will be negatively affected. "Rising atmospheric temperatures, longer droughts and side-effects of both, such as higher levels of ground-level ozone gas, are likely to bring about a substantial reduction in crop yields in the coming decades, large-scale experiments have shown" .

The combined effects of global warming may impact particularly harshly on people and countries without the resources to mitigate those effects. This may slow economic development and poverty reduction, and make it harder to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

In October 2004 the Working Group on Climate Change and Development, a coalition of development and environment NGOs, issued a report Up in Smoke on the effects of climate change on development. This report, and the July 2005 report Africa - Up in Smoke? predicted increased hunger and disease due to decreased rainfall and severe weather events, particularly in Africa. These are likely to have severe impacts on development for those affected.

Hope this helps///

Answer 7

Nothing that man has done will have a negative affect on the primary sector.  The Earth's naturally rising and falling sea-levels COULD have an adverse affect.  The oceans have risen and fallen over the course of Earth's history.  

If man wants to build at current sea-level.....then he does so at his own peril.  The earth's sea-levels will rise...... or fall.....with or without man.....PERIOD!
