What is the death toll from global warming so far?

Answer 1

thousands it is hazy as to what comes first the chicken or the egg ,for example the chineese desserts are caused by Man and effect Global warming ,lots of dead people
is it mans fault or is it global warming everything is related

some details for your attention and some solutions in the bargain as well as a very good source

there are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,and this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations as well as destructions of essential componants the ensure living conditions for all life forms

some home truths

politicians and scientists who work for politicians have downplayed the facts because solutions are expensive and means change and change effects many people income,and most of the world is kept in the dark of the real things that are going on.


in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification


in recent times thousands of people have died because of exessive heat,usually old people.in India ,Mexico and France,
deforestation causing 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)

,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.

collectively this planet is drying up because of bad farming practices like,over grazing and fertilizers,

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

Answer 2

some call Katrina an effect of Global warming, but the truth is we don't know what is a result of it or not, so the toll could be debated. Frankly global warming is a fact and not a deed, so the death toll is related to how we prepare for it. If you continue to build in flood plain areas, then there will be a real death toll to hold humans accountable for.

Answer 3

With every day pass, our country is getting into more and more trouble. The inflation, unemployment and falling value of dollar are the main concern for our Government but authorities are just sleeping, they don’t want to face the fact. Media is also involve in it, they are force to stop showing the real economic situation to the people. I start getting more concern about my future as well as my family after watching the response of our Government for the people that affected by hurricane Katrina.

According to recent studies made by World Bank, the coming crisis will be far worse than initially predicted. So if you're already preparing for the crisis (or haven't started yet) make sure you watch this video at http://www.familysurvival.tv and discover the 4 BIG issues you'll have to deal with when the crisis hits, and how to solve them fast (before the disaster strikes your town!) without spending $1,000s on overrated items and useless survival books.

Answer 4

IMPOSSIBLE to say because one cannot possibly say what event is caused by a warmer earth. The sad fact is that one cannot even say that the earth is that much warmer. For example, the 2005-2006 hurricane season was rather nasty. Many blamed global warming. The 2006-2007 hurricane season almost didn't happen at all. Is the earth suddenly cooler? Or is this a load of hooey? We really don't know.

Answer 5

If it relatively warmed up we would start to be conscious much less chilly climate at extreme latitudes. that could take a large type of warming, possibly 5-10 C or extra.the quantity of warming that we've experienced so a great way isn't adequate to stay away from chilly climates from experiencing chilly climate. chilly climate would not ensue simply by fact of international warming no longer happening or simply by fact of "international climate disruption." simply by a mix of organic and guy made components, the Earth has warmed via a pair of million C over the final century, so a place which will have been in a position to anticipate -40 C ought to now anticipate -39 C.

Answer 6

oh, yeah, like anyone is keeping score on that!
Human only? what about animals, plants, death of a glacier. I do not think a death toll can even be calculated based soley on global warming.

Answer 7

Hi. Impossible to know without having the death toll from a stable climate. But if storms are any indication, it could be thousands,

Answer 8

Global Warming is just a theory.


Besides, I doubt that the cause of death after an autopsy would ever be "global warming."

Answer 9

We had a case of a couple hundred birds falling out of the sky a few weeks ago due to the higher temperatures. There are loads of fish dying at different times of the year as well. As far as humans go, I've no idea.

Answer 10

I don't know about people dying from global warming...but one thing I'm looking forward to is more heat....it's friggin cold here.

Answer 11

you're funny. I can totally see someone out there just keeping tabs on how many deaths. right. Do numbers really matter? It's occurring right before your very eyes.
You can either watch it destroy the most intelligent beings on this earth and everything with it or do your part to stop pollution.
