Can We Die From Global Warming?????

Question

Can We Die From Global Warming

Answer 1

Eventually, yes. You could argue that some people have already died.

Stronger hurricanes happen when ocean temps are warmer, like hurricane Katrina. This obviously can kill people. In addition, if/when the ice caps melt the sea levels will rise and wipe out people who live on coastal areas. One island that used to be inhabited is now under water.

There are many other potential deadly impacts of Global Warming. Maybe if we as individuals, and our governments do something about it we won't have to experience them all.

Answer 2

Yes, We Can Die From Global Warming!
The number of deths will depend of warming properties:
1./The speed of warming, meaning in fact the speed of "melting" of the polar ice and mountain icebergs. It's possible to completely melt in: -1 year, -10 years, -100 years, or -1000 years.
2./The final proportion of melted polar ice, until the phenomenon will naturally stop: 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%.
It's well known the fact that the melting of polar ice, will grow the height of ocean water with 80m, this meaning huge surfaces of low land, especially plaines on continents and isles and atols in ocean emisfera, will be covered by water and billion of people will die.
The human civilization will fall back and we will live as in the stone era or worse.

Answer 3

Most definitely. We're quickening the process that will plunge the earth into it's next Ice Age. Unlike the cute little Pixar movie, the Ice Age is more associated with mass extinction than anything else.

Answer 4

Yes, you can die from global warming. But you even have a better chance of dying during the coming ice age. Ices ages that cause major extinctions begin every 11,500 years and always begin with a warming period. Seriously, look it up!

Answer 5

some human beings say we are all going to die because of the fact of world warming, some human beings say the international is flat and that Elvis works on the close by convenience save. no longer each and every thing human beings say is real. worldwide warming is a topic, it isn't the tip of humanity. we will all be affected one way or yet another, some heavily. some human beings will die yet it is particularly constrained to the international places that are least able to guard themselves from the end results of climate replace - particularly the African and Asian international places. in case you reside interior some of the best international you have have been given extra replace of being killed in a motorcar twist of destiny than dying of world warming.

Answer 6

Whatever the cause of global warming, yes. Not in-and-of itself, but eventually from the effects of it.

Answer 7

Probably not. My biology teacher told me once that scientists blame global warming on humans, but it isn't true. The world changes degrees on its axis which causes temperature changes. Global warming would probably just melt the ice caps and cause a little bit of flooding, but probably not that serious. I could be wrong, but I'm not really sure. Sorry

Answer 8

Definitely. If it got completely out of control it could melt us because it would get too hot, although I guess the poles couldn't actually get that hot. So unless we all migrated to Antarctica, yes, it could.

Answer 9

Yes. Watch the movie, 'The Inconvenient Truth' for more details.

Answer 10

Many thousands of people already have ,
in China(dust storms),In Africa (desertification death of thirst)
In France (death from heat stroke)
In Mexico (death from frost),in India (death from heat wave)
just to name a few
here follow some aditional details and solutions
in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification
deforestation causes desertification,the desert conditions causing very cold nights and scorching hot days

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,the globe where they were got to hot for them .
and instead of producing food they are now needing it from some where else,and they will drastically effect the world food prices when they start buying water in the form of grains ,at any cost destabalising governments, in some countries ,could be the result
(are you seeing more Chinese around interested in agricultural lands ,we do here in Mexico)

this was man made global warming because of over grazing and fertilizers, and they are not the only ones
collectively this planet is drying up ,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and all of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less ,in the dinosaurs days ,there were no desserts.

so as far as the food production is concerned Global warming or some of its effects are serious,rising seas result in landloss

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

more landloss because of desertification every year,we have less areble land to produce food ,for an extra 70 million people ,

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate this production ,
and there are less and less farmers to do it..
who are overpumping deep carbon aquifiers
who are plowing more and more unstable lands because they have lost so many million hectares to desertification ,
because of bad farming practises ,such as using fertilizers and heavy machinary or over grazing

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.

Global warming is in theory reversable,but it will mean global co operation between all countries ,and taking into account human nature and the world politics ,it is unlikely that this will happen,

At least not untill we are all in the middle of planetary disastres and it becomes a battle for the survival of humanity every where.

SOLUTIONS
if you want to help the planet ,plant a tree every week ,if everyone on the planet did we we would be able to reverse the destructive processes

reduce carbon emisions,and they are already working on that by alternative forms of energy and regulations on carbon producing materials,aerosol cans,burning rubbish,industrial chimneys,powerplants etc.

the capture of carbon and the production of water and assist the aquiferous manta.

the world bank pays large subsidies for reforrestation to capture carbon and the best tree for this is the Pawlonia

Waterharvesting projects ,such as millions of small dams.to redirect over ground waterflows from the rains into the ground to supply subteranian water supplies.

the protection of existing forrests.

stop building more highways,urban planning to include vegetation stop building cities encourage people to return to the land to conduct their business from there which now has become possible thanks to the internet.

education to motivate people to auto sufficiency by building more home food gardens.

education on environmental awareness
education on family planning to curb over´populaion

Agricultural education and improvements to follow the principals or sustainability and soil management.

more environmental or land ,design to prevent bush fires,such as--fire breaks

,more dams.regulations and control for public behaviour

alternative effeciant public transport to discourage the use of the internal conbustion engine

recicling wastes,limit water use
