Answer 1

The increase in Melenoma and other types of skin cancers, due to the depletions in the ozone layers by greenhouse gasses additional types of man-made pollutants.

The warming of the oceans by same pollutants and ozone layer depletions sometimes increases the numbers of hurricanes, but more ofyen increases the INTENSITIES of hurricanes.

Answer 3

Martini, I think you are mixing things here. There is no proof that global warming is exclusively the result of human interference and there is no proof that global warming harms people. In fact, every year more people die from hypothermia than heat. Global warming should then kill less people.

But the natural disasters coming from human interference are multiple, although not necessarily related to global warming but to pollution in general.

Today, any animal at the end of the food chain (that includes us, humans) has so much heavy metal that it is considered improper to consumption. That is only one example. But ... do you call it 'natural disaster?' Maybe not as spectacular as the movie "The Day After" but certainly a big problem future generations will have to deal with.

Answer 4

No natural disasters have happened as a direct result of warming period.  Manmade global warming is largely a myth.

Answer 5

it has not been nessecarily proven that global warming has caused more natural disasters, however there has been a steady increase in the frequency and the intensity of natural disasters.
