Question

What possible effects do increasing Earth temperatures have on climate change?

Answer 1

Try watching The National Geographic Channel Videos,search for "the Earth at 6 degrees" called video and try see for yourself.

Answer 2

If only the Earth's temperatures were rising.  The Earths climate has been steady or even declining sightly for the last 10 years.  Now some scientist are saying that global warming is on a break and won't return until the year 2012, and others are saying that we won't see any warming till 2020.

It may be a long while before we will be able to see any effect changes in the climate will have.

Answer 3

Some global warming models predict that, though summer might be a little hotter, the largest temperature increases will be seen in the winter. Icebergs melt all the time, and always have. It's a result of exposure to above-freezing water and has nothing to do with climate change or global warming. Flooding will occur because there will be more rainfall, which is a good thing. Hurricanes are caused by the temperature difference between the tropics and the temperate zone. The greater this difference, the more hurricanes will form, and the more powerful they will be. Since the temperatures will increase more in the temperate zone than in the tropics, this difference in temperatures will be reduced. Therefore, there will be fewer hurricanes.

What will most likely happen as a result of climate change is the same thing that happened the last three times. Higher birth rates for humans. Lower death rates for humans. Less sickness and disease. Higher crop yields. Less hunger. More abundant animal and plant life. Overall, unusual prosperity for humankind. This is exactly what occurred during the Medieval Warm Period 1,100 years ago. This is exactly what occurred during the Roman Warm period 2,200 years ago. We have historical accounts from those periods that confirm the prosperity of humans under "global warming". We have few surviving historical records from the Minoan Warm Period 3,300 years ago, but archaeological evidence supports the notion that this period was also quite prosperous for humankind. Note the 1,100-year cycle between the previous warm periods, and the fact that the current warm period falls right in line with that cycle, making it likely that the current warming is merely part of the cycle and not caused by anything mankind has done. (There were no SUVs or coal-burning electrical plants back then.) Note also that temperatures during the previous three warm periods exceeded the highest temperatures recorded during the current warm period, and yet humankind prospered. We have nothing to fear from global warming, except that it is very likely to reverse itself long before the alarmists think. In fact, there is evidence that we have already reached the peak temperature of the current warm period, in 1998.

Answer 4

It would depend on how much the increase in temperature was and for how long.

Answer 5

you are seeing the effects of it right now.
