Question

What are the effects of global warming ?? e.g. floods what will happen?

Answer 1

we have to control the earth!!

Answer 2

The effects...Climate will change and we will adjust.

Answer 3

Increased rain, temperature, and CO2 will cause plants to thrive.

Food production will increase.  Fewer people will die of cold. Pressure to mine and burn fossil fuels will be reduced, thereby reducing pollution.

Save the Earth through increased global warming!

Answer 4

There will be many effects.  Increased temperatures cause water to evaporate and form clouds more quickly, which will then rain more quickly.  This will concentrate more rainfall in fewer places, causing floods in some areas and droughts in others.  That's one example.

These changes in precipitation will cause problems for plants which are adapted to the current climate.  We'll have to adjust as much as possible, growing crops in different areas than they're grown now.

Various species will also have to adjust to the changing climate.  Many will not be able to adjust rapidly enough, and will go extinct.  This will cause serious problems in their ecosystems.

Increased temperatures also cause water to expand, which contributes to rising sea levels.  Also contributing to this are melting land ice, mainly on Greenland and Antarctica.

As more ice melts, the planet will become less reflective (ice reflects sunlight, dark oceans absorb it).  This will cause the planet to become even warmer.  There is also large amounts of carbon trapped in bogs beneath the permafrost, which is now melting.  If this carbon is released into the atmosphere, it will cause even further warming.

Etc. etc.  Lots of bad stuff.
