Question

How will global warming/climate change affect us in the future?

Answer 1

I doubt you will read or understand this:

World Temperatures are Falling while CO2 level keep Rising

http://nzclimatescience.net/images/PDFs/...

10 years of temperature monitoring shows the 'Theory' has failed.

Answer 2

It's our downfall

Our summers will be hotter and longer

The ice caps will melt and flood the oceans, which some land areas will flood and be under water

People might be forced out of there homes, because it is flooded

The equator will be scorching hot!!

The good thing is shorter winters, but less places to do snow activities, like snowboarding, skiing, etc

The air will be fill of carbon dioxide, harder for us to breathe and animals, but good for plants

More hurricanes and tornadoes

That is what is going to happen if we don't act now!

Answer 3

When will we start to freeze?  What the tempature has dropped in the last 12 months nearly equals 100 years of gain

World Temperatures according to the Hadley Center for Climate Prediction. Note the steep drop over the last year.Twelve-month long drop in world temperatures wipes out a century of warming

Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began. Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

No more than anecdotal evidence, to be sure. But now, that evidence has been supplanted by hard scientific fact. All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASA's GISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously.

A compiled list of all the sources can be seen here.  The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C -- a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years. All in one year's time. For all four sources, it's the single fastest temperature change ever recorded, either up or down.

Scientists quoted in a past DailyTech article link the cooling to reduced solar activity which they claim is a much larger driver of climate change than man-made greenhouse gases.

Answer 4

If the poles melt that means life there for some species would cease to exist therefore affecting other species too, it's like a chain reaction. Also this will affect how the oceans behave since the sea level will rise, thus creating climate change, which will make winter or summer unbearable for humans too. But putting all these facts together could bring other unseen changes for the globe. And all these things were caused by us, cause we can't live w/o our cars or the fur coat, or because we did nothing to stop it, our grandchildren will pay the cost.

Answer 5

The earth's climate changes all the time. Like in the past, humans will adapt to future conditions. Don't believe in man-made global warming- there is so much evidence to disprove that theory.

Answer 6

Aw but I thought the global temp was colder this years.

Answer 7

If its done right one step at a time NATURE WILL RETURN TO NORMAL NATURALLY. so our big storms will return to small storms, Hurricanes now as big as texas will return to approximately 5 miles across, our== all attitudes will subside on temperaments and return to normal and we wont see any cougars walking on the side walk down the street anymore.

Answer 8

It may have little effect on you, but future generations will have a hard time.  It all depends on what ACTUALLY happens first.

Predictions of dire heat worldwide will mean less water, more deserts, less food and the more vulnerable creatures on the planet will cease to exist.

I guess "survival of the fittest" will take over, and humans may go the way of the dinosaur.

Answer 9

IF temperatures increase, food production will improve due to longer growing seasons.  Given that temperatures will be trending down over the next few years until the next solar maximum that isn't likely to happen.
