  1. it may hurt a few people's feelings when they realised they have been PUNKED.

    thats about it.


  2. global warming effects each and every humans....global warming brings cilimatic changes which effects the daily routine of humans ,due to global warming as we all know polar ice caps are melting up which in turns is increasing the water level and there is also depletion of ozone layer which protects us from ultra-violet(UV) radiations.. UV radiations is very dangerous for humans as it can cause skin cancer and many other diaeses.........

  3. You mean how has it already harmed people.

    1. It has killed they in weather aberrations such as unusually powerful hurricanes, tornadoes and cyclones (i.e Burma 100,000 expected dead.

    2. Famine some places are not getting enough water causing crops to fail, others are getting too much.

    3. Displacement (i.e. Katrina in regard to New Orleans).

    4. Property damage.

    5. Death from heat waves

    6. Poverty from many of the effects listed above.

    7. Mass extinction which has cut down on biodiversity which not only brings us joy but also new sources to cure dieseases, food sources, etc.

    As for how could GW harm humans more than it already has it can ultimately either extinct the entire human race along with over half the known species and or make the world a place nobody want to live in anymore and then what will all those greedily acquited dollars be good for?

  4. Global warming affects humans because of the rising tempurature, the air polution by many different thing, the sea level that is rising, and many other things. we really need to help stop global warming.

  5. http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/glo...

    show them this interactive globe

    Global warming is but a component, in a group of destructive forces at work such as ;deforestation,desertification,soil and water contamination ,irresponsible or wasteful utilization of bio resources , air pollution,Non sustainable Agriculture,over pumping carbon aquifers

    all concepts which are definitely not part of the Natural Processes of the Natural world

    WHICH WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR,

    The most prolific growth on this planet is part of the day in the mist and most of the time under clouds ,and the least growth is always directly in the sun .

    To exchange the one for the other means changing local climates

    We are exchanging Nature with Tar , concrete and open spaced mono cultures.

    In 300 years half of the planets forests have gone ,and in the last 50 years half of the wet lands ,and rain forests

    These Areas absorb heat during the day and release heat at night ,

    Cause cloud formation(shade).humidifying the air on the surface as well as releasing excess water at the roots that keep rivers flowing ,which in turn brings more water into the Environment .

    As well as contributing to absorbing carbon emissions as do the leaves of the trees together with the oceans .

    All in all many factors which directly affect the local Environment .

    and this directly affects humans

    The loss of the above resulting in rivers drying up ,less rain ,desertification,loss of habitat for many species and so on.

    dryer and hotter surface environments which can manifest in different weather patterns such as tornadoes or bush fires

    I may be stupid or Naive but somehow i believe that lots of these local environmental changes, can add up to affect global weather, If there are enough of them (and there are)

    And then on top of that comes the story of the effects of pollutants released into Nature and especially the Air ,by MANhttp://earthissues.multiply.com/photos/a...

    A cocktail of events and a lot of the ingredients have MAN written all over them

    So it is safe to assume that we should look at ourselves , ,for possible improvements ,and rectifying Eco errors that are with in our powers.

    23.000 people were killed at  Myanmar

    http://www.businessandmedia.org/articles...

    other disasters have been Happening for a number of year related to climatic changes

    recently In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before. Millions of animals died.

    In India 3000 people died because of super storms .

    .A few years ago in Europe 3500 people,died during a heat wave ,many of them in France .

    Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming

    . these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

    In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

    The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing .

    The biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,

    Many more disasters will follow

    What is a safer bet

    to be or not to be

  6. it will effect everything on the planet

  7. The earths temperature rises causing the polar ice caps to melt and glaciers in greenland to melt which in turn dilutes the ocean causing a slow down in the ocean converyor or current and also causes the level to rise. The current slows or stops which affects the climate changes making them more severe and intense. Some believe the northern hemisphere will become permanently covered with snow causing a great loss in farm land through out the world. People are already feeling the effects of high priced food because of farmers growing corn instead of other crops. It won't take much to make things worse.

  8. 1.  It could make the weather rougher.

    2.  It could severely alter local climatology.

    3.  It could cause coastal flooding.

  9. well i guess that global warming makes the ozone layer smaller and then more sun comes in and just think bout that

  10. if the temperature of the planet rises, ice caps in the north and south melt and islands and costal cities on the mainland go underwater.

  11. It effects crops that have to move poleward. 90% of the worlds population lives near the coast. they can be flooded out.

  12. So many ways.

    First to be affected is the coastal cities. They are a HUGE part of our society and our economy depends on them. Due to global warming, the sea level rises and will submerge the cities.

  13. what do u mean "how would it harm any humans"????

    IT WILL KILL US ALL!!!!!    AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

    ;-P
