It's already happening. Both the north and south pole ice packs are breaking away....glaciers are melting....the warm oceans are spawning more and stronger hurricanes (yeah, I know, we got by this year pretty good....but that's only this year....we just got lucky, but it's not over). Weather incidents will be harsher (stronger T-storms, etc.). Where I live, we have tornado watches every year now (we even got hit with one a couple of years ago....blew the garage apart, and damaged several other places, and tore the whole roof off my workshop). I live near where I grew up, and we never had tornadoes in my earlier years. Now, we have them, and lots of lightning hitting the ground in the winter, etc. Yeah, global warming is a problem. Unfortunately, there's no solution short of stopping the modern world (cars, trucks, other pollutants). Oh, well, survive the best we can, I guess.

The two big things are rising sea levels (causing coastal flooding) and climate changes (temperature, rainfall) that will disrupt agriculture.
Rich nations will be able to deal with it, although it will cost enormous amounts of money, more than is needed to reduce global warming. In poor countries many people will starve, unless the already burdened rich countries help there, too.

well our technology is improving at all times. I think in the near future we will be able to create a new ozone layer, with O3, since we can separate the elements we need 3 oxygen. If this happens we will have a good chance of surviving. Otherwise we would die of being flooded

Global warming is a myth (the Great Hoax of our time) and Al Gore needs to be admitted to the mental institution.

Maybe the earth will get as warm as it was about 1000 years ago. Vikings will re-establish their farming comunities in Greenland. But it will probably cool off again and they'll be forced to abandon the Greenland farms.

maximum of Canada is supported via very deep permafrost. because of the fact the permafrost melts, not purely will they launch lots extra methane and CO2 than guy's contributions however the land might cave in. it is particularly available for plenty of Canada to return to the shallow in land sea it as quickly as became. particular, Canada would desire to agonize because of the fact it won't only be warmer climate. Canada opted out of Kyoto because of the fact with the pine beetles surviving various heat winters without die off, eighty% of the BC pine forests have been killed, the rotting wood are actually freeing 5 cases the CO2 produced via all Canadian autos. What became as quickly as a credit to Canada under Kyoto grew to become a super penalty which might would desire to be made up via savings in marketplace, this made the Kyoto contract impossible for Canada to fulfill.

Florida will disappear under the ocean. The ocean will rise to the Appalachian Mtns and all the property near the mountains will be beach front property.'

Al Gore's head will get so big it will explode, sending debris into the atmosphere, blocking out 75% of the sun and throwing the planet into an ice age.

The movie "The Day After Tomorrow" was pretty on target.
We are our worst predator. The bottom line is that we are busy extincting ourselves.
