Global Warming question?

Question

I know what global warming is but how exactly are we "supposedly" going to die? Is it from too much heat or something?

Answer 1

If the heart heats up even a few degrees, it can cause disasterous effects to our environment, most notably the melting of the icecaps. The extra water will raise Earth's sea level and displace millions of people.

Also, the extra heat will disrupt Earth's biggest natural resource, the ocean. Warmer waters will cause algae to bloom, which results in oxygen deprivation to fish and kill them. Warmer water also holds less oxygen than cold water. Our oceans have natural currents that are essential to keeping coastal regions like England cool (they had a bad heat wave recently).


Warm water also feeds hurricanes.

Chances are, global warming wont kill us in the short term but thousands of species will not adapt and perish. Lives will be displaced and communities will be disrupted.

Basically, we're causing the Earth to change faster and this will result in lots of problems in the future.

And yes, in the long run too much heat can kill us.

Answer 2

No, we will not die from the extra heat. People will still flock to Florida for vacation because it is warm there.

The extra heat may change the glaciers and snowpack. It could change the ecology of the land and oceans, giving some plants and animals an advantage in new locations, and causing other plants and animals to have a hard time surviving. No one knows for certain what the changes will look like.

But humans are quite adaptive. If the sea rises 12 inches, we will move to higher ground. There's plenty of higher ground.

We are in great danger of dying from OTHER things, not global warming.

Answer 3

Global warming happened because too much chemicals made a hole in the ozone layer with all this increased heat it is begining to melt al l the ice in the poles north and south with that the sea rises. people have get forced of their lands away from their homes. Storms are more severe and an effect of extreme weather pattens are happening. like if it floods over one side of the world there is another droughth over the other side of the world and everything i hope that helps you in someway.

Either we will end up drowning or freezing to death or starving

Answer 4

Wow the TV you people watch must be awful... First, the ozone layer having a hole in it has NOTHING TO DO with global warming... Research them both, they're separate environmental issues.

We won't necessarily die from global warming, but the poor people in developing nations who lack our technology surely will, so this becomes a human rights as well as environmental justice issue. Within the next century the planet will get warmer, which means higher sea levels and altered weather patterns. This means that slowly the water will rise and the weather will become more extreme until we are forced to live in completely different areas.

Answer 5

no i don`t think it will or can kill us and most scientists don`t even know if its a bad thing because in ancient records the earth heated up naturally more than usual then went back to normal so it could just be a natural thing the earth does.same with the ozone hole they don`t know if it really grew because the first time they went to measure it they measured it wrong. i know! and now they`re thinking about releasing stuff on purpose to help fix it or so they say but they could screw up are whole planet and cause a ice age if too much is let out. i`ve decided they`ll all idiots

Answer 6

well for one you won't be able to breathe....

another disease

another
polutted water..........

another starvation

another heat related deaths

cold related deaths

Answer 7

apparently. We are suppose to slowly roast to death.
