It is not easy to predict this. There are various theories but we don't know for sure and different parts of the world will be affected differently.
For example, the ice caps will melt, raising water levels across the globe. Some areas will be permanently flooded. However, the ocean will become less salty, which could disturb the movement of warm water from point A to point B in the ocean. Some scientists, for example, think that the Gulf Stream will disappear, leaving England and Scandanavia more cold than today.

Disastrous events will happen if humans don't slow down Global Warming.
The temperature is rising, so the ice is melting, causing an increase of the sea level. Florida, Italy, half of India, and many more countries will be flooded.
The ocean temperatures are very very slightly increasing. This can cause the extinction of the Coral Reefs around the world. The natural beauties and our last natural defense against the full force of the sea. We will know need to build artificial defenses to stay out of the sea's way.
The ice is melting, sending huge amounts of freezing water will pour into the Atlantic, destroying the Gulf Stream. (the water current that defends Europe from very cold weather). Europe will plunge into an Ice Age.
The weather will become more violent, and draughts more current. Hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, tital waves are heading our way, better watch our step and start reducing our carbon emissions, and rely on renewable energy. It's the only way Global Warming will be slowed down. We may have a chance to live for about 30 to 70 years, i think...

You and I will die, it's that simple. Right now, go look at a map of the world. You can find one on Wikepedia if you don't have a world globe or a paper map of the world. Look at how much of the world is arctic tundra. That tundra is land made largely of permafrost - think of it as a perpetually frozen swamp. That permafrost has locked up in it gargantuan amounts of methane. Melted, it releases that methane into the atmosphere. There's enough methane there that when the tundra melts, every warmblooded creature on earth will suffocate and die. We can't breathe methane and live. Global warming is melting the permafrost in the arctic tundra. Talk about a weapon of mass destruction - THIS is the real McCoy!

- Sea levels will rise by meters - coastal zones will get flooded permanently
- severe hurricanes due to changed air flows on a global scale
- maybe sub-tropical zones will be further turned to deserts
- polar ice caps will de largely melted and the poles will become habitable
- many and severe floods accros moderate continental zones
- loss of biodiversity due to the fast changes, floods, fires and hurricanes
Basically the main problem with global warming is its pace - too fast for the nature to adapt the changes. This will cause a lot of destruction and devastation.

The ice caps will melt, resulting in global flooding.
Most of Europe and the USA will become desserts.
The Ozone layer will collapse, resulting in an increase of skin cancers and eye disorders - cataracts.
For a long term outlook, the Earth will become like Venus!

Holy cow, i just made this same question. Anyways. Severe storms, frequent and violent storms due to Ocean Temperature rising, Temperature rising, ozone layer depleting, atmophere being thicker, flooding causing millions of refugees, and flooding destrroying cities (not instantaniosly but slowly).

oceans will rise, heat will increase to a point where all species will die out. our society is stupid, not many car companies and energy compaies care about pollution and global warming. it pisses me off. by the way google your question it always helps me on reports

Global warming can't be stopped, it is Earth's natural cycle,

nothing, its all just a bunch of crap intended to scare you and take your mind away from other things, around the same time as vietnam, they said the world was goin into a cooling period, go figure
