What are the predicted consequences of global warming?

Answer •An increase in the trapped heat will: Change and alter weather patterns •Which in turn will: Result in some living things not being able to adapt to these changes which will hasten species extinction Influence length of seasons Lead to more, frequent and intense storms More rain, followed by longer and drier droughts, which will challenge the growth of crops Ice sheets will melt which will potentially rise sea levels significantly and cause coastal flooding The polar bears dying away A: Global warming, sound so benign. Who would not want warmer winters and balmy summer days? But the long-term global trend to higher average temperatures poses a real risk to our economic and social well-being, as well as to the native creatures with which we share the planet Climate change is causing sea levels to rise.

Not by much so far, but this is only the start. Combined with the greater storm surges associated with climate change, will force people to abandon some prestige coastal properties. The inundation of New Orleans should have been a wake-up call, but many see this as a special case with no relevance elsewhere.

Rich agricultural coastal flood plains will become salinated and unproductive Floods will become more frequent and more severe in some areas, while droughts will similarly become more frequent and more severe in others. Analysis of hurricane activity shows that severe hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more destructive, as a result of increased atmospheric thermal energy. Frequent storm damage to properties will cause insurance premiums to rise until some can no longer even afford to insure their houses Wildlife will suffer from loss of appropriate habitat and from heat stress.

Some corals will die back as sea levels rise and they no longer receive sufficient sunlight, while others will be bleached by the rising temperatures and acidity A: Global Warming is a natural cycle of the earth, but in today's world, it has been sped up due to human activities. Pollution is a big contribution to global warming, since power plants and factories expel dangerous gases into the atmosphere. Believe it or not, Carbon dioxide is one of the most dangerous gases!

We currently have an overload of Carbon Dioxide in our atmosphere, which retains the heat.( the UV rays from the sun can come to earth but since there is an overload of carbon dioxide in the 'sky', the uv rays (light) cannot escape causing global warming. The major consequences of global warming are as simple as: Hotter (longer) summers Colder (shorter) winters. If you look back a couple years ago, do you remember how long winter lasted?

A lot longer than just last year I bet. Global warming is approaching very quickly and this issue needs to be seen by everyone. Though there are many involvements, and laws being placed if we do not reduce our gas emissions soon and by about (over) 80%, then there is a ice age BUT Remember this is the NATURAL cycle of the earth, these human activities affecting (speeding up) the process is not good!

A: The supposed effects are a higher Temperature and melting Polar ice caps, potential species extinction.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
