What are soem actions people might have to take in future due to global warming? Read details.?

Question

What are some really big things. For example like making huge underground water stroage tanks, clean water exceeds the cost of fuel etc. Some big things. I dont want to hear about how we can stop it now but what might ppl have to do if no one does anything?

Answer 1

London has been inhabited for hundreds of years and yet during the recent much warmer medieval optimum London was not underwater, this is solid evidence rather than a randon model projection based on an assumption.

When it was warmer in the past polar bears didnt die out, the coral reefs didnt disolve etc...

co2 concentrations have been higher in the past during the warm periods (co2 rises after the temp increases historically) so it is clearly a natural process and though we do contribute to it in a very small manner I doubt we are significently impacting on global temperatures and the conesquences of the natural warming (which stopped after 1998) will be nothing more than changes in weather patterns.

This will eventually be realised as the scientists start to speak out in frustration so hopefully nothing silly will be done.

Unfortunetly I have already seen poorly though out  "quick fix" plans for co2 produced in the rush for an engineered solution. So far Ive seen 2 schemes that would reduce co2 from the atmosphere, both would result in the ocean being poisoned, one via removal of o2 and the other by forming suphuric acid as a by product. Hence I am more worried about people trying to fix a problem that doesnt exist than the so called problem!

Another theory was to dump tonnes of sewage into the sea to create algal blooms, then kill off the algal blooms so they sink to the ocean floor trapping co2, but again this could backfire for all we know.

Answer 2

The answer by grovesmuk is a good example of not doing research before repeating one of the many misconceptions that circulate.

The current temp rise is around 0.6c, the Medieval warm period was less than 0.2c above the mean. The link below uses data by half a dozen different researchers not just Mann.

And London has been inhabited for thousand of years not hundreds.

Answer 3

If co2 is the driver and we do nothing and levels continue to rise at the current rate, 'remembering we have only had a 0.6deg temp rise so far' we will get the full 2-3c deg temp rise which would be the end of the Arctic and the start of melting of the coastal ice sheets of the Antarctic, which is the start of meters of sea rise, this is one of the bigger problems for us, with all those large cities on the coast or in river plains, London, New York, Paris, LA, Sydney, Washington etc etc.

The other big one is ocean acidification, which is already showing as a problem if the level goes much higher you start to get the break down of hard shell animals in the sea, like krill, there are those here who will say "so what who cares about crill or polar bears etc" but krill are the base food of the ocean if they stop breeding or reduced severely in number the entire food chain above them would fall in a heap.

Answer 4

Humans have had absolutely nothing to with any warming period and there has been no warming for over 70 years now. Well up until 1934-40 it was real and it happened because of the end of a period of low sun spot activity and the beginning of a more active period of solar output. It has been well proven now through current and historical records that the overall temperature average or climate of the earth is closely tied to the sun spot activity that directly affects the earth’s climate. Real global warming is a natural cosmic event, the global warming currently in the public spotlight is a fictional event brought about for political and economic gains by an elite group of con men.

The whole concept that this global warming scam is built on comes from a mistake in logic by a chemist back in the late 1800s when things started warming up at the end of the 2nd half of the little ice age. His arguments were adopted by a group of anti-industrial/anti-technology religious fanatics known as Luddites after their prophet to try and return society to its grander days in the early medieval period when nobility meant something. Oh yes, just like today the major adherents of this cult were the 2nd and 3rd sons of the minor nobility and in some cases the 1st sons who had squandered their inheritances on life style instead of productivity.

The anti Co2 cult was enhanced again when the argument was taken up during the late 20s when warming became noticeable and a industrial chemical firm had come up with a fluorocarbon instead of an oxycarbon refrigerant they claimed was not only superior to Co2 as a refrigerant it also would end the threat of global warming caused by Co2. This refrigerant was known as Freon and was in recent years banned because it was suspected of damaging the ozone layer. Now because of the low performance of other substituted refrigerants Co2 is making a huge comeback in the refrigeration industry, especially in newer auto air-conditioning systems that are more compact and efficient.

In the 1970s the Co2 equals warming theory was once again brought forward by a couple of low end climate scientists Mann/Hansen to first warn of the immanent plunge into a new and disastrous ice age because of the production of Co2 by vehicles and industry. This even though it got major media news play flopped like a lead balloon. Then they got involved with a shyster politician that had major oil company connections dating back to his fathers involvement with them who said clearly people are not afraid of cold but they are of heat.

So this politician writes a disaster is coming because of the warming that will be caused by the huge amounts of Co2 the world is pumping into the air. Mann/Hansen then revised their materials to forecast ever rising temperatures in sync with rising Co2 levels. Well when they checked closely they found that world temperatures had no relationship with Co2 levels and instead followed sun spot activity so they had to alter world temperature records to reflect a temperature increase matching the Co2 increase. This worked fine up through 2000 because things were warming up after the 70s cool period at that time. Then after 2000 temps leveled off and started dropping a little and their altered temperature curve that matched the increasing Co2 curve began to radically separate from reality even more than it had from the beginning of the scam when they had interjected an artificial .5C jump that placed the current 1998 peak well above 1934 when it was actually about .1C below 1934. This radical difference between actual recorded temperatures and reported ones quoted by Mann/Hansen is what brought about NASA action to review national and international records. The US national records have been repaired and now reflect the fact that global warming is more than a myth, it is an outright con game played for profit at the highest political and economic levels.
