Question

What are some of the societal impacts of global warming?

Answer 1

Increased food production, fewer severe storms.

Answer 2

future, but close future wars will be fight not for fuel, for water, there are a lot of changes happening in our lifes, but we haven't get to the situation where some countries are, specially African ones, where to be killed for water is a reality. Towns fight to survive, and politicians don't care to do something fast and do it not just for TV cameras, for everyone, that's why we as normal people have to learn and do things, and i have a lot of information in my site www.ecologyforlife.info i recommend you to visit it.

Answer 3

Potential impact  include temperature rise, droughts and downpours, (more extreme weather scenarios) ocean acidification and even the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.

Impacts to global economy could be substantial, as changing patterns will impact agriculture.  

Communities and infrastructure will be impacted, at huge financial costs.

Water resources will become unstable. Snowpacks that provide water for many areas will be lessened and therefore less reliable.

Answer 4

Higher taxes and hysteria. Al Gore gets richer by selling "carbon Credits" while telling you what a b*****d you are for driving to work.

Scaring the daylights out of school children.

Africa will never be able to enter a period of industrial growth, hence, more will die trying to eek out a living on subsistence farming.

Did I mention hysteria?

Answer 5

We get bombarded with tv shows, movies, and commercials propagating this hysterical nonsense.

Seriously, though...global warming is going to handicap people economically...because more government regulation drives the price of everything UP.

It also accumulates more power for the government...as planet earth continues its evolution towards a left-wing police state.

Answer 6

Getting people to believe things that are not true.

Answer 7

1) Cost of fuel rising due to carbon offset taxes which means high electricity and gas.

2) Flooding of cities due to melting of ice caps.

3) Increased level of Typhoons, cyclones and tornadoes destroying cities, towns and contaminating water.

etc.

Answer 8

Remember, global warming is just a theory...it hasn't been proven and isn't yet happening.  But...bad news sells, as they say, so the media has jumped all over it for the sake of profit.

Higher taxes and fuel prices are the main results of this scam.  But it also goes to show how an idea can grow and modify to change society...an 'idea', factually baseless.  One can see that societies are changed and thinking-process is easily controlled in about half the population.  That's an interesting social result.  Kind of scary to know that your free-will is not so free after all, but can be controlled and regulated by lobbyists and politicians who bring you to hysteria about an 'idea'.  Social manipulation at it's cruelest.

Remember the kids story of Chicken Little who said the sky was falling and got lots of animals to believe it?  This is the same thing exactly.  The only way to combat the Gore's of this world is to stop listening to them and educate  ourselves with the truth.  Read the 'Manhattan Declaration' (google it) for reaction to the g/w scare, this time presented by scientists who know what they're talking about.
