does global warming affect the climate & amount of rain fall?

Question

1. if it affects the climate, so does it affect the rain too?

2. what are 'climatic belts' ?

Answer 1

Yes, but over a very long period of time.

Now do your own homework.

Answer 2

there are three problems

1. the pollution we create in the air, is poisoning us, it is leaching into our water supply and creating lung cancer. It is also cooling the planet, which is reducing the effects of global warming, so we are unable to measure the damage by temperature alone.

2. The greenhouse gases we are releasing into the atmosphere are heating up the atmosphere, increasing the humidity. however, most clouds form over salt water, so If the polar caps and glaciers keep melting at the current rate, then there will be so much fresh water in the north Atlantic and Pacific, that cloud formation will slow and weather patterns will shift. Some areas will get much drier. Catch 22, if we don't stop producing polution, we will poision ourself with toxins, if we clean upo our act with dirt, then the real heat rise will be felt for the first time.

3. The third problem is the oceans. Hot and cold currents of water travel around the globe, these are called conveyors. the most studied is the Atlantic conveyor, which takes hot water up to Europe from the Saragossa sea, causing humidity and warm winters in western Europe. If the saline (salt) levels in he north Atlantic alter, then the Conveyor may shift, plunging Europe into a mini ice age, shifting rain away from tropical belts and creating vast new deserts.

Another much studied conveyor is the El Nino of Peru... they are getting more frequent, and the hurricanes it creates, bigger and more frequent.

The final problem, is that the world's cooling device - we think- is to shrink, If water in the deep ocens rises in temprature, more magma from the edges of plate tutonics reaches the surface. which means that the tutonic plates get more compact, and let off a load of heat energy, which is converted into volcanic dust, which cools the atmosphere by blocking the sun out for a few years. this could be the start of a major ice age.... a period of dramatic temprature fluctioation, which takes a long time to get back into balance again. The problem is that we just don-t know what effect the damage we have done we utimatelt take, we have done damage, despite the folks who like to bury hier heads in the sand and dismiss the scientists as alarmist, (there are over 6000 eminant world scientists now calling for a total carbon emmissions to drop to zero!)

We only have one home, this planet, and can not afford to gambel on a techinolgical device to save us or the small chance that the world will sell regulate, and clean up our mess for us.

Answer 3

WOW - 8 dead in weekend snowstorm - how many more would have died if it weren't for global warming?

For the global warming myth - yes it affects the rain - why?
When the Pacific Ocean gets warmer - more plankton form -
causing more water to evaporate - which goes up by the way -
causing more rain - that cools the earth

don't know about climatic belts - do they keep our climatic pants up?

what's the real cause of GW
1800- 900 million people worldwide
1900 - 1.6 billion
2000 - 6 billion
2005 - 6.5 BILLION - yep - gotta be the underarm deoderant

DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK

Answer 5

Yes, that is one of the primary effects of global warming. Areas that now get plenty of rain will dry out and other areas will get more rain. This will be disruptive because agriculture can't easily be moved from region to another or across national boundaries.

Answer 6

until eventually you stay in a polar area or intense on a mountain then virtually absolutely you'd be experiencing extra rainfall and a lot less snowfall than you probably did interior the previous. i wager because of this very last year broke our maximum ever snowfall by over 8 inches interior the imperative midwest, and our finished precip became below overall for the year

Answer 7

yes because the rising in temperatures cause storms like hurricanes and rain so yes it makes more rainfall.

Answer 8

umm i think so because its getting hotter and the water is evaporating and so yeah that means more rain
