Global Warming in the future?

Question

need some information as to when global warming will start taking some serious lives or doing some serious damage... how far away is this possiblity.

If you say "Right now due to common diseases esca- blah blah blah", I will slap you.

I want to know what's going to happen in the next 200 years, 300 years, next 1000 years etc, and if you can link me to any websites that would be great.

Also would anyone be able to tell me about temprature change due to global warming?

THANK YOU :3

Answer 1

alright im am SICK AND TIRED of people worrying and running around like chickens with their heads cut off because they think their going to drown in the next ten years! yes, global warming is real but uhh guys we've had the same amount of water on the earth since it WAS earth. if you melted every piece of ice on this planet..it wouldn't drown anything or anyone besides are beloved polar bears.

Answer 2

So much can happen in that amount of time but if people keep treating the planet like tis then by the next 200years it would most likley be detroyed. But whos to say. A mteor could hit us before than but that would not be because of global warming. It's all a matter of how people decide to treat our enviornment.

Answer 3

To say what will happen would be a guess .The permafrost in Canada up are melting ,The ice in all the places as north south pole Greenland Iceland Alps are decreasing yearly.When the ocean currents change another 3 degrees we will have more data to again guess.The energy we waist is abundant.And that will be what catches us first .

Answer 4

The short answer is we don't know the time frame--except that you are off by an order of magnitude. try 20,30 or 100 years.

Here's what I mean.  Currently, global warming is not causing severe loss of life or property (some , yes, but it's still very limited).  However, teh rate of warming is accelerating.

The catch is tha t we do not know where the point of no return is. We may already be past the point at which consequences will be severe and can only be limited andshortened.  If that's the case, current projections estimate the following by the latter part of the 21st century--50 years. Or sooner.

>a permanent refugee population exceeding 150 million due to coastal flooding and ecological disruption

>severe edisruptions of food production

plus a number of other things-none of them pleasant.

NOT doing anything will simply make matters worse.

We may or may not be past that "tipping point."  

The second problem is the possibility of a "threshold effect."  This is a condition in which the factors causing a phenomenon have little effect until they accumulate to a certain point, and then the effects sudenly become drastic.  A simple example: put an eg in a microwave oven and turn it on. Nothing will happen for a minute.  Then the egg explodes due to the fact that the steam pressure reached the point it exceeded the strength ofthe eggshell.

Given recent data on the rate of melting of Arctic sea ice, the latter is becoming more and more likely. Here's why:

Throughout recorded history the Arctic--the formation regionof most of our weather--has been covered by ice. Those weather systems have always formed over a relative cold layer of frozen water. NOW with the sea ice melting faster than expected (by an order of magnitude) we are facing the possibility that within 3-5 years most of our weather will develop over a relatively warm open water surface. Storms can then draw additional energy and moisture from the sea.  That may alter--drastically--every weather pattern in the Northern Hemisphere.  The practical effects would be to disrupt climate over half the Earth.  And THAT in turn will disrupt  not only ecological systems, but the regions where 90 % of the human race's food is produced.

This will happen--in this form or some other--if we do not stop global warming. The only question is when.  But you are talking about within your lifetime--not centuries.

Answer 5

The temperature average is a mathematics trick .. U do not average , and then average that with another. That is a mathematical ,thy shall not do...Take 5 no and average them together ,And another set of no. of 19 samples . and another with 50 samples. Now average these 3 sets of no. Write down the no... Now sum all the no together and then average that . Now is the no. the same..

  U are watching the wrong gas. U need to look at oxygen ,that is what keeps U alive.it will be 20.9% of our atmosphere. All the green house gas is only 1.1%. The highest CO2 readings I have sean was 380 ppm,now that is .000,380% which is nothing...

Answer 6

According to National Geographic, the average temperatures have gone up about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) since 1880. Also, Arctic ice is "rapidly disappearing." By 2040, the Arctic may have its first ice-free summer.

Also, by the end of the century, sea levels could rise between 7 and 23 inches. This could flood parts of Southeast Asia and more. Natural disasters could become common in many parts of the world. More info can be found here:

Answer 7

Machines will not work properly as decrease in energy, water scarscety, electricty failures,  yes ofcourse incurable and new deseases, hot places will become cool, cool places will become hot.

Search Google, you will find exactly what you want.

Answer 8

The next 1000 years? Hahaha we won't even be around then, at this rate.

Answer 9

Many researchers are predicting the end of the unusually high solar activity we've been experiencing for the last 100 years or so (known as the Modern Maximum).  If the predictions are correct, we've seen the end of global warming for a couple hundred years, minimum.  It's the Modern Maximum that's responsible for the warming trend over the last century, not man.
