Question

What will happen to the world, if global warming continues to carry on the way its going?

Answer 1

Link is right,about  the average temperatures. Record low temperatures were recorded in 2008. The planet warms and cools because of natural causes, and man has nothing to do with it. If you want a better explanation, try looking up sun spots activities and their relation to Earth’s temperature. The CO2 thing is stupid as it gets; Believe me.

Answer 2

The weather patterns will definitely become more extreme.  Eventually the planet may recover on its own, but it will be a very rough millenia for life on Earth.

Answer 3

If Global warming continues, the polar ice caps will melt, and if they melt, considering that they are full of frozen water, the average sea level will rise, maybe to the piont of a world flood.

Either that, or earth will become a lot like venus

Answer 4

Since the planet's been cooling for the last 10 years, it might mean we're heading into a period of global cooling.

I prefer the periods of global warming, but there's nothing we can do but accept what comes to us.  It's not like we have any control over climate on this planet or any other.

After all, we're just tiny beings on this giant ball spinning through space.  I'm just thankful the sun comes up each morning.

Answer 5

to "our" world or "the" world? "our world" will be increasingly difficult to live in as other countries start realizing the USA has all the fuel and food and they are running out. but that's more of a national security issue.

"the world" might hiccup, maybe shift another continental plate... or likely just ignore us until we go away.

Answer 6

Well, it'll hit a plateau (like it did) then it'll cool again, then it'll warm again, then it'll cool again....(and on and on and on).

The Earth will continue on it's natural cycle and we'll be taken along for the ride.

Answer 7

Well, according to Al Gore, the sea level worldwide will go up 20 feet, and waves of Styrofoam will terrorize the people of the earth.

Answer 8

It will get warmer, which is a thousand times better (in terms of quality of life) than if it gets colder.

Answer 9

we get cooked or ice age all over agian or armagedon comes first hum think god will let any thing hurt us y/n

Answer 10

Well....in a thousand years or so, the average temperature might be 10 degrees higher than it is now.

Answer 11

Funny that people make a claim, like global warming, and they ask you to disprove it never minding the fact that they never proved it in the first place. Ask them the following questions.

Ask them why they are remiss to exclude the biggest factor in global warming period...THE SUN!

The activities of sun spots are the biggest indicator and predictor of global temperatures.

The main questions concerning global warming are simple:

1. Is the temperature going up (and in the last decade it hasn't)?

2. What is the period of time to consider when determining this, years, decades, centuries, mileniums, or millions or billions of years(and in any significant sense of time, we are in a cool spell).

3. If the temperature is up, is it due to the activities of man (and HOW is this determined?) or rises in C02?

4. What part of the atmosphere is C02 (probably less than even 5 %).

5. What % of this rise in C02 (if it exists) is due to man (probably less than 5%).

6 So the total % of this atmospheric mess is due to 5% of 5%, if it is at all true.

7. People Lie!

"Scores of scientific papers show that the medieval warm period was real, global and up to 3C warmer than now. Then, there were no glaciers in the tropical Andes: today they're there. There were Viking farms in Greenland: now they're under permafrost. There was little ice at the North Pole: a Chinese naval squadron sailed right round the Arctic in 1421 and found none.

The Antarctic, which holds 90 per cent of the world's ice and nearly all its 160,000 glaciers, has cooled and gained ice-mass in the past 30 years, reversing a 6,000-year melting trend. Data from 6,000 boreholes worldwide show global temperatures were higher in the Middle Ages than now. And the snows of Kilimanjaro are vanishing not because summit temperature is rising (it isn't) but because post-colonial deforestation has dried the air. Al Gore please note.

In some places it was also warmer than now in the Bronze Age and in Roman times. It wasn't CO2 that caused those warm periods. It was the sun. So the UN adjusted the maths and all but extinguished the sun's role in today's warming."
