The real crisis will be the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people across the world. The disruptment of adequate food supplies and water will lead to a humanitarian crisis never seen before in human history. The human race has exceeded the carrying capacity of the planet. This came about because of modern agricultural practices and modern health care. We have no adequate worldwide leadership to show us the way into the future. The die has been cast and I foresee nothing but disaster coming. Where will be the last safest place on Earth? There you will find the so called elite, the rats running away from the sinking ship.

Many of the negative effects of global warming cannot be seen in the data for a single year. For example, climate changes force many plant and animal species to migrate, as temperature extremes make it harder for them to survive in their current ranges, or evolve into more temperature-hardy forms. However, two factors will make the current changes difficult to survive for many species. First, this change is happening faster than normal -- evolution, and even migration for some species, will be too slow. Second, man-made barriers of all sorts -- superhighways, dams on rivers, clear-cut forests, urban areas stretching for dozens and even hundreds of miles, and extensive agriculture will make migration difficult or impossible for many species, making the total rate of human-caused extinctions of species much higher than it already is.

Some species will benefit. Among them are heat loving insects that can fly. Already deadly tropical diseases like malaria are moving further north and to higher elevations.

One of the most frightening effects of global warming is the fact that it is somewhat self propogating: A warmer world makes some of warming more likely. For example, forest fires occur more often, more severe, and harder to control -- and forest fires release vast amounts of CO2, accelerating the warming trend.

The list of serious problems that we are already seeing is very long -- and some of the scientists' projections of what the situation might be like in a hundred years, predictions made just a few years ago, have already happened!

So, the situation is already very bad, and it is certainly going to get worse, no matter what people try to do about it. But, as we'll see in the next section, we can do something, many things, to reduce the rate of warming and even eventually begin to lower the temperature

It will release methane hydrate from the oceans. Methan hydrate is stable in a very narrow temperature range. When the oceans warm, it will destabilize the methane hydrate in certain areas and release tons of methane into the atmosphere. With methane behind one of the nastiest of greenhouse gases, the release will cause more intensive global warming, causing more methane to be released. In addition to the warming planet is the melting of the icecaps, which will flood millions of miles of coastal land.

I could go on, but you get the picture. We've already warmed 2 degrees. Eight more and we're in big, big trouble.

First off things will get hot.

Storms like we have never seen

Polar caps will melt and we will have mass flooding.

The heat will keep building the cloud cover till it blocks the sun.

We will no longer get the heat from the sun but the clouds will stay there and it will get cold.

So we have heat to kill most life on the planet followed by floods and then freezing for hundreds and hundreds of years.

I'm sure some kind of water bug or fish might make it but there will be not much left.

Stick your head between your legs and kiss your butt see you later. study Michael Crichton's "State of concern." worldwide Warming ala the schizophrenic Al Gore is junk technological know-how. The credibility of the analyze is questionable at that's ultimate. The Earth's temperature for the main section is inspired by using image voltaic pastime and ordinary image voltaic orbital cycles and not some leftist ideology of human reason. that's arrogant to think of guy has led to the present day warmth wave not to show has the flexibility to offer up it.. stay interior interior the summertime as did the persons interior the Thirties, drink distinctive water.. positioned on SPF 40 5 sunscreen. do not hassle approximately it.
