Is Global warming the Earths solution to overpopulation?

Question

Lets not debate on if global warming is happening or not. I want to hear ideas about weather or not global warming would increase the productive growing zones of the Earth to produce more food or biofuel which could deal with overpopulation and the CO2 issue due to more plants on the Northern hemi for a longer period of time offsetting the CO2.

Answer 1

let's not confuse "effect" with "solution"

Answer 2

GLOBAL WARMING IS A MYTH.IT DOES NOT EXIST.IT IS AN ENDLESS CYCLE THAT GOES ON

Answer 3

Yes, it is.

As the various Government agencies tax people and business, it will cause a slow down of the world economy.  This, along with biofuel usage, will cause food shortages and massive inflation.  When people can no longer afford to eat, they will be mass starvation and crime, which will tend to reduce the population, expecially in under developed areas.

Government policy and taxation is already causing just such a population "purge" across many countries in Africa.  As soon as the U.N. can institute these types of Government takeovers world wide, this should cause this type of population purge world wide.

Answer 4

It might not be a solution to overpopulation, but I would say it is definitely a symptom.

Answer 5

no, it will reduce them world-wide according to all the research i have read so far.

what will 'deal' with overpopulation would be mass famine and die-off of humans. that is what normally happens when a population overshoots it's resources.

Answer 6

As long as there are so who want more then they need, there will always be to many people and not enough things for them to play with.  However the earth will continue to rotate on its axis and orbit the sun.  And life will go on.

Answer 7

Global warming is the biggest scam since religion. The climate changes. All reserch shows this. One volcano puts out more material they say causes global warming than all the cars built and run since their invention. Junk science used to create new companies.

Answer 8

Adding extra CO2 should moderate the climate, but it is against the alarmist nature to admit to benefits to extra CO2.  Clearly CO2 will lower the need for water by plants and the moderated temperatures, if they occur, should be an even bigger benefit.  It is interesting watching the leaps of logic that alarmists such as Dana will stoop to, to protect their global warming cause.

Answer 9

Well global warming is one of the main factors as to why the polar ice caps are melting at a rapid rate... When the polar ice caps melt the sea level will rise. Consequently that will lead to low land areas being submerged in water therefore resulting in zero 'productive growing zones' ...

Also the effects of CO2 emissions and global warming has drastic effects on ecosystems...

Thats my opinion and hope it atleast partly answers your question.

Answer 10

No.  There's a certain point at which warmer temperatures and higher levels of CO2 do not benefit plant life.  We may have already reached that point.  See the discussion linked below for further details.

Also, as you create more productive growth zones further north, the current growing zones closer to the equator become too hot and unproductive.

Answer 11

Could be.  Ted Turner is saying that in just 30 years over population is going to make global warming so bad that everyone is going to turn into cannibals.

And how could anyone argue with ol 'Ted?

Answer 12

all i can say is that we may need to colonize another planet that may be the ultimate solution
