How does Global Warming Cause Death?

Question

How Can it kill you !!!

Answer 1

It knocks on your front door and bonks you on the head.

Or more likely it causes rising water levels which reduce available land area, it reduces the volume of rivers and lakes to interfere with irrigation, and then outright turns larger areas into deserts and the like which aren't much good for anything. And don't forget the thousands and thousands of people who died just last year from heat strokes and the like during the summer heat waves. We have already seen all these things happen more and more in the last decade.

To make matter worse, most industrialized countries will compensate by using huge amounts of energy to power air conditioners. Not only will that mean more pollutants, but also brown-outs and the resulting chaos from that.

So even if it's not really going to bonk you, it's still potentially quite dangerous. And some would say inevitable at this point...

Answer 2

The ways that Global warming can cause death are numerous.

To start with, It's predicted that warming will cause our weather to become much more severe - more storms and more powerful storms, longer droughts, bigger floods, etc. People in third world countries, particularly those that depend on subsistence farming, would be the most vulnerable but more severe weather would play havoc with entire world's food supply.

If a large percentage of land based ice melts, such as in Greenland and Antarctica, it could raise our sea levels by as much as 20 feet. Although this would be a more gradual change, a rise of that much would flood many costal areas that are home to millions of people.

It's been said that the only creatures on earth that would thrive on a significantly hotter earth are the insects. That would mean more disease. Some cities, such as Nairobi, were founded at elevations just above the mosquito line to try to avoid the diseases that they carry. As the world warms, the mosquitos will be able to live at higher elevations.

These are just some of the consequences that have been imagined. There's probably much more that we haven't thought of yet. The bottom line is that we're messing with a climate that has been very stable and friendly to man, for the most part, and the consequences could be extreme.

Answer 3

If you live in a rich country it won't kill you. But the cost of dealing with coastal flooding and damage to agriculture will make you poor.

In a poor country it can kill you by damaging agriculture and causing starvation.

Answer 4

Global warming eats away the ozone layer. The ozone layer protects us from the sun's radiation, without it we get all sorts of UV rays and harmful rays killing us. These rays cause cancer, increase temperatures, and kill us basically.

Answer 5

It may already be setting it up . PANIC is not good ,when u get at that state u are already whipped. Don't give up .

Answer 6

floods, drought, stronger storms, panic leading to violence...
