Question

Why does globalwarming affect all of us?

Answer 1

Global warming will effect everyone at different levels. It will create new deserts but open up large areas of very fertile grass land. It will lower the productivity of the oceans in the equator but become much more productive near the poles. Over all they think that there will be a greater ablitity to create food on the   Earth, but there will be a great problem with floods and drought.

Answer 2

Global warming is a very complex collection of many effects

this text only covers some aspects of global warming ,mainly agriculture i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification

water and air polution such as caused by

industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories,

and all of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions

there are natural cycles in the planets life

but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

climate change is caused in great parts by desertification ,and most desertification is caused by man

the thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up.and this is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions

expanding populations and expanding farming ,that has to keep pace with the expanding populations are very strong forces that encroach upon the rainforest's

clearing them for farming and settlement areas .

Rainforest's always are in third world countries and always in third world countries corruption and the need for money s highest

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year

and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were very few desserts.

collectively this planet is drying up ,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,

and there are less and less farmers to do it..

Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities.

Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.

This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.

The farmers have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.

Over the last half century,

Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million

In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .

RISING SEAS

The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.

this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter

Global warming could be slowed down to some extent,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where,instead of just some third world countries Source(s) here are a 100 ways to help

Answer 3

No Planet no us....

Answer 4

Because the global waring affects the layers of atmosphere. (umm... i think well i have no clue which one but,)anyways and the atmosphere protects us(the world) for the suns harmful rays, ect.ect. And so if the lobal waring destroys the atmosphere that means that well, pretty much...we die.

Answer 5

If you live in a rich country the government will have to spend huge sums of money to relocate people from the coasts, and to fix agriculture which will be severely damaged.  All the citizens will have to pay for that.

If you live in a poor country you may not have enough food to eat.

Answer 6

Hello- "Global", like everywhere. All the globe is not warming equally- in fact some places are getting much warmer-but some are getting cooler. It's a paradox and the real answer would take many pages. The real danger is not just the oceans rising but, as the earth establishes a new equilibrum,

more and worse storms will occur, agricultural areas  may get droughts or floods. The best short answer -see "An Inconvenient Truth" Al Gore's film. I knew him 40 years ago and he was worried then and he has been collecting data ever since. Go on the Internet and research "abrupt climatic change". Oddly enough global warming may trigger another ice age. Good luck.  michael

Answer 7

Global warming affects all of us due to it's effects on the global scale. Unlike an oil spill which may effect a region of the planet, global warming is causing adverse effects across the entire globe.

The loss of biodiversity caused by rapidly shifting ecosystems, the loss of productive farmland caused by altered weather patterns and the increase of major weather systems will cause problems for humans and other living creatures alike.

As many as 200 MILLION refugees are predicted to be forced from their homes do to the shifting of global climate patterns. This figure represents roughly 30% of the global population, giving each of us a 30% possibility of becoming a global warming refugee. This figure is higher than any figure produced to represent heat number of global war refugees.
