Question

What is the effect of Global Warming to the World Population?

Answer 1

Hmm. Not sure. It would really depend on what

will or is going to happen in our planet.

Some people might drown, die from mud slides,

or the heat, etc. I guess, people who don't have any

supply, might die in some 10-50years

from the sudden water-loss or the sudden water-rising?

So, basically. Random people might just die,

or maybe 1/10 of the earths population will/might die.

I hope that helps:))

Answer 2

the population of some animals may suffer, as for humans some might face famine and drought and die of hunger or due to an illness the inefficient immune systems can not handle. Also if the ice-cap melt sea levels would rise and land (some people may drown0 would be lost, so the population density may increase. So long as India is there world population won't face any problems, unless they start enforcing the one child policy.

Answer 3

flood in some areas and drought in some other places.

Answer 4

a sh*t load of people live in the bay area, florida, new york, shanghai, and numerous other places that will be covered in water if the ice caps melt and the sea levels rise.

Answer 5

death

Answer 6

Unfortunately, many people live in low-lying areas. These people would have too move as water levels rise, causing the largest refugee problem the world has ever seen. As many crop lands flood, food production would go down, and many people would starve. There will be some riots, and some wars.

The good news is that these are going to be mostly third world countries in Africa, SA, and Asia that are going to be having the major problems. Most developed countries have small enough populations and high enough food production that they will simply have to move inland and pay higher food prices. The world economy will be hurt, meaning a major recession, but nothing we can't live through.

Few people will drown -- the water levels aren't rising that fast.

The global temperatures will still be about the same overall. At first they will have only raised just enough to melt the ice at the poles. Barely noticeable to your average American.

The world population will shrink, but the populations of developed countries will stay about the same.

Answer 7

FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL

Al Gore has a house that consumes more energy than a neighborhood.

He owns a company that sells carbon credits

He justifies it by buying carbon credits from himself.

Environmentalism is a religion and like all religions fear creates a flow of money.

Environmentalists tell us that humans are a cancer on the Earth and the earth must rid itself of it

What if the Earth is now at the end of the warming cycle and headed for cooler times?

'Coldest winter in 100 years'

China battles the freezing weather that has stranded millions

Answer 8

A few places would suffer but most of the world would thrive.

Answer 9

Well. Less people on average would die. More people die from the cold than die from heat every year. Overall, 2000 more people in the UK will die per year from global warming but ATLEAST 10000 less people will die because of the shorter winter.

The sahara would start to become liveable and green.

Tropical forests would EXPAND because they could live in higher and lower latitudes.

Not really anymore hurricanes, typhoons, or cyclones because of increased wind shear.

The habitable zone would increase in size.

But then again.... the Earth's temp. has been decreasing for the 2nd straight year and it hadn't gone up in the past 10 so yeah....

Answer 10

that is yet uncertain, since the exact future effects of global warming are unknown, but the possible effects and the risks to humans are as follows.

- Average ris of global temperatures in itself is only a mild risk.

- Melting ice caps over land cause rise of sea levels, the higher that rise is, more areas that are close to sea levels will be flooded, and the population will have to move away, that could include many river deltas, the lowlands of Holland, Venice in Italy, parts of Bangladesh and many other areas.

- The global climate is expected to become wilder, more storms in the Caribbean, south China, and New Orleans style flooding will happen much more often.

- Melting of permafrost lands in the sub arctic zones could cause release of vast amounts of methane, this is a poisonous gas.

there is more, but these are good examples.

Answer 11

It won't affect populations. It will affect our climate and our environment.
