Which of the following is true?

Question

1. Global warming is causing droughts. There will not be enough water to sustain life.

2. Global warming is melting the icecaps. The world is in danger of flooding.

Answer 1

Both. Australia is in the middle of draught right now, whereas some places like Venice are in danger of disappearing due to the rising water. Depends entirely on where the place is and the sea level, blah blah blah

Answer 2

2

Answer 3

I think it will be 2, people have invented ways to make water from thin air although costly it will work to allow us to survive (me thinks and hope). There is evidence that the icecaps are melting (ie the glaciers), and we are in some danger not only because of the flooding but beacuse of the increase of freshwater in the oceans, for obvious reasons this will effect us ecconomically and the cirlcle of life.

Answer 4

Both. In some areas droughts are predominant now where pasture land was 10 years ago because of the change in wind pattern. Precipitation isn't the problem-there's enough heat to continue the condensation cycle. Its the disruption of the normal patterns thats worrying. As for the Ice caps the main problem again is disruption-this time of ocean currents. As the fresh water of the Arctic melts it decreases the salty water of the North Atlantic Current (Gulf Stream) which has a knock on effect on the other thermal currents of the oceans which heat cool areas and cool hot areas. For me in Ireland the desalinization (Unsalting of the Gulf Stream) will in time cause it to slow and stop allowing the northern currents to flow south and envelope us in freezing Canada-style winters and then the Eastern prevailing wind which carry such strong heatwaves as to kill 3000 in paris some summers ago will reach my Emereld Isle scorching it. No more seasons-just exteme hot and extreme cold. I fear for the world and the efects we are having and deaths our parents and our generation will incur on the future generations through our ignorance and apapthy.

Answer 5

Both because global warming is causing havoc all over the world. Places that had the 4 seasons are now having one or two. The beaches are being bashed to death by hurricanes and the middle of the US they are having tornado's where there never were any. So in my opinion the whole world will suffer in one way or another.

Answer 6

Global warming is melting icecaps,and our world is 3/4th water.Imagine ice when it melts(ice imbedded in the seas and mountains of ice).Along with the existing water surrounding us,what havoc would it create.

Answer 7

not 1 for sure, cuz all the water that evaporate or used everyday is dropped again as rain in other place

i go with 2, but until now icecaps are still holding on, but in the next 50 years we dont know what will happen

Answer 8

GW melts the icebergs, evaporates the water in a faster rate, the wheather becomes unpredictable and havoc, extra warm, heavy rains, floods, landslides, mud rush, hurricane, typhoon, tornadoes, cyclones, heavy winter, hot summer, prolonged rain season, well.... its a havoc to our wheather

Answer 9

I believe it is both. The Southern hemisphere will go into a major drought and the Northern, will be like an ice age again.

Answer 10

they are both true, the first one applies to countries in the southern hemisphere, my country (south africa) is already experiencing drought in some regions but it's gonna get worse in time. the second point applies to countries in the northern hemisphere like canada europe and the usa, they are gonna have more water while i'm gonna have less water.
