Question

What are the effects of global warming in the world?

Answer 1

just listen to the "experts". the world will end or the world will get warmer, ice caps will melt, more water, plant life will greatly increase, plants give off greater amounts of O2. animal life increases because more plants to eat and more oxygen. or maybe the planet will warm for a while then cool for a while, sort of like it has done for a few billion years.

Answer 2

the wold getting destroy

Answer 3

The predicted effects of global warming on the environment and for human life are numerous and varied. It is generally difficult to attribute specific natural phenomena to long-term causes, but some effects of recent climate change may already be occurring. Raising sea levels, glacier retreat, Arctic shrinkage, and altered patterns of agriculture are cited as direct consequences, but predictions for secondary and regional effects include extreme weather events, an expansion of tropical diseases, changes in the timing of seasonal patterns in ecosystems, and drastic economic impact. Concerns have led to political activism advocating proposals to mitigate, eliminate, or adapt to it.

Physical impacts

>>Effects on weather

>>>>>>Extreme weather

>>>>>>Increased evaporation

>>>>>>Cost of more extreme weather

>>>>>>Destabilization of local climates

>>>>>>Glacier retreat and disappearance

>>>>>>Sea level rise

>>>>>>Temperature rise

>>>>>>Acidification

>>>>>>Shutdown of thermohaline circulation

Answer 4

You have used the present tense so I assume you are looking for things that have already happened such as:

- Islands and low-lying areas being swamped with resulting displacement of people;

- Melting ice caps, ice sheets and glaciers

- Decrease and extinction of species

- Destruction of farmland

- Increased severe weather events (e.g. tornadoes, heavy rain, storms)

- Increased desertification and drought

- Increased flooding

etc

Answer 5

well the global temp raises and then the polar ice caps melt, that is turn erupts the ecosystem more specially polar bears, fish, thus disrupting the food chain... also we could drown or there could be another ice age

Answer 6

there are several effects due to the global warming like melting ice lands. evaporating rivers, skin diseases,leads to death of living organisms,if this continious in future there will be on living organisms on land.so protect the earth.

Answer 7

1.) We will be exposed to the ultra-violet rays of the sun

2.) We could have diseases like skin cancer, heatstroke etc..

3.) The ice caps will melt and the sea level will rise and drown the countries

FYI, global warming is not just about warming the earth, it is the complete depletion of the ozone layer caused by CFCs and greenhouse gases.

Edit: Any particular reason why did i get thumbs-down?!!?

I am actually right! I have been an environmental scientist for 7 years.

Answer 8

The evolution of life.

If not, the destruction of life.

Either way, humans are not gods and cannot control climate change, nor should we.

Answer 9

ice caps melting, sea level rising, globe WARMING, extreme weather, world ending

Global warming may extend the favourable zones for vectors conveying infectious disease such as dengue fever[157] and malaria[158][159] In poorer countries, this may simply lead to higher incidence of such diseases. In richer countries, where such diseases have been eliminated or kept in check by vaccination, draining swamps and using pesticides, the consequences may be felt more in economic than health terms. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says global warming could lead to a major increase in insect-borne diseases in Britain and Europe, as northern Europe becomes warmer, ticks—which carry encephalitis and lyme disease—and sandflies—which carry visceral leishmaniasis—are likely to move in.[160] However, Malaria has always been a common threat in European past, with the last epidemic occuring in the Netherlands during the 1950s. In the United States, Malaria has been endemic in as much as 36 states (including Washington, North Dakota, Michigan and New York) until the 1940s.[161] By 1949, the country was declared free of malaria as a significant public health problem, after more than 4,650,000 house DDT spray applications had been made.[162]

The World Health Organisation estimates 150,000 deaths annually "as a result of climate change", of which half in the Asia-Pacific region.[163] In April 2008, it reported that, as a result of increased temperatures, malaria is appearing in the highland areas of Papua New Guinea, where it has always been too cold for disease-spreading mosquitoes.[164]

Green house gases stay can stay in the atmosphere for an amount of years ranging from decades to hundreds and thousands of years. No matter what we do, global warming is going to have some effect on Earth. Here are the 5 deadliest effects of global warming.

Spread of disease

As northern countries warm, disease carrying insects migrate north, bringing plague and disease with them. Indeed some scientists believe that in some countries thanks to global warming, malaria has not been fully eradicated.

Warmer waters and more hurricanes

As the temperature of oceans rises, so will the probability of more frequent and stronger hurricanes. We saw in this in 2004 and 2005.

Increased probability and intensity of droughts and heat waves

Although some areas of Earth will become wetter due to global warming, other areas will suffer serious droughts and heat waves. Africa will receive the worst of it, with more severe droughts also expected in Europe. Water is already a dangerously rare commodity in Africa, and according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, global warming will exacerbate the conditions and could lead to conflicts and war.

Economic consequences

Most of the effects of anthropogenic global warming won’t be good. And these effects spell one thing for the countries of the world: economic consequences. Hurricanes cause do billions of dollars in damage, diseases cost money to treat and control and conflicts exacerbate all of these.

Polar ice caps melting

The ice caps melting is a four-pronged danger.

First, it will raise sea levels. There are 5,773,000 cubic miles of water in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, if all glaciers melted today the seas would rise about 230 feet. Luckily, that’s not going to happen all in one go! But sea levels will rise.

Second, melting ice caps will throw the global ecosystem out of balance. The ice caps are fresh water, and when they melt they will desalinate the ocean, or in plain English - make it less salty. The desalinization of the gulf current will “screw up” ocean currents, which regulate temperatures. The stream shutdown or irregularity would cool the area around north-east America and Western Europe. Luckily, that will slow some of the other effects of global warming in that area!

Third, temperature rises and changing landscapes in the artic circle will endanger several species of animals. Only the most adaptable will survive.

Fourth, global warming could snowball with the ice caps gone. Ice caps are white, and reflect sunlight, much of which is relected back into space, further cooling Earth. If the ice caps melt, the only reflector is the ocean. Darker colors absorb sunlight, further warming the Earth.....Hope that helped!!!

Answer 12

well a lot more mosquitos ..and the end of the earth as we know it.
