Regarding global worming?

Question

how do the global worminig effects the wind ? if so, how was it, how is it now and how would it be if we continue on poisoning the planet,? are there any referances

Answer 1

No one really knows for sure.  It's likely that global warming is one of the reasons we've seen an increase in the numbers and severity of storms in the last 30 years.  Nowadays there's nearly twice as many catagory 4 and 5 storms as there were back in the 1970's.

One possible explanation is that global warming is causing a warming of the seas and oceans and this is where tornadoes, hurricanes, cyclones and the like are 'born'.  The right conditions need to come together for a storm to be created and warmer oceans provide more favourable conditions.  There are many other factors that need to be considered as well.

If we look at the number of natural disasters that no amount of global warming can affect, such as volcanoes and earthquakes, we see the numbers have remained more or less constant.  When we look at the types of disasters in which global warming does have an effect, such as droughts and floods, we see that there has been a sharp increase in the number of these type of events.  The increase matches the increase in the number of storms leading some people to conclude that the increase in number and severity of storms is the result of global warming.

Whilst it's likely to be a factor it's not possible to say for certain.  Global warming and storms are complicated things and at this moment in time they aren't understood enough to be able to draw any concrete conclusions.

If, as seems likely, global warming is causing more storms then it's likely that the numbers and severity will continue to increase in the future.

Sorry I can't give you a more precise answer - you've picked one of the areas of global warming which isn't understood enough to allow for precise answers.

Answer 2

the hotter it gets the more violent the winds and tornados

Answer 3

Picking millions of earthworms from the earth leaves their burrows exposed which in turn leads to a funnel effect when the wind blows into them. This in turn lets other earthworms know that these burrows are vacant and they move in quickly, thus perpetuating the cycle of global worming.

Answer 4

Worms are not a problem. They don't effect the wind, nor do they poison the planet!  Kent I, who smokes cars?

Answer 5

I have a response to Trevor's answer.

You cannot simply state that global warming is causing this increase in storms. Sure, there may be more storms as of late, but there is no evidence to connect the two in this manner. There are several reasons that could be causing this increase in storm and it doesn't necessarily involve anthropogenic sources. Throughout geologic history there have been cycles of increased storm patterns, adjusting with thermohaline circulation, tectonic activity, and solar forcing (just a few examples).

During the rise of the Mayan civilization, a time of increased drought occured, eventually leading to the demise of the entire civilization. Are you saying that they caused the "global warming" that destroyed them, like we are causing the "global warming" to destroy/poison us?

There have been countless numbers of glacial and interglacial phases throughout the history of Earth and to think that we are the sole cause is just as anthropocentric as thinking that Earth is the center of the universe. No matter what politians say, scientists say that we are still not the warmest this planet has been. In fact, not even 500 years ago, there was an ice age in Northern Europe. Clearly, there was a higher production of greenhouse gasses during the 1500s than there were during the Mayan times, but somehow the surface temperature does not reflect that. Perhaps the reasoning for these ideas not matching up is that anthropogenic sources are not the main sources of global warming.

So to answer your question, ToAgori, there are several different reasons for global climate change and they each affect wind differently. The collision of India with Asia greatly changed the course of the wind, causing the monsoon season in Southeast Asia. Also, we have seen ENSO (El Nino) cycles through taking sediment cores and have seen that this has been occuring for tens of thousand of years (maybe more, I cannot remember right now). It is true, that these cycles have become more intense recently (geologically speaking, of course --- thousands of years), but there is no evidence to show that anthropogenic sources have any affect on this.

Many things can cause global warming, it is not necessarily us. So be carefull when you throw words out there like "poisoning", because, yes, we may be increasing the carbon in the atmosphere, but if we didn't do it, something else would (the sun, tectonics, etc.) .

Oh, and I have several references, I just do not have them with me. Let me know, and I will get you a list.

Answer 6

No effect on the wing. Fish love them though.

Answer 7

globle worming might jusrt eat oles in the wind.

Answer 8

by chemical,people smoking cars,and gas thats how we get gobal warming
