How does global warming affect humans?

Question

What happens to humans as a result of global warming.

Answer 1

Some effects on both the natural environment and human life are, at least in part, already being attributed to global warming. A 2001 report by the IPCC suggests that glacier retreat, ice shelf disruption such as the Larsen Ice Shelf, sea level rise, changes in rainfall patterns, increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, are being attributed in part to global warming.[36] While changes are expected for overall patterns, intensity, and frequencies, it is difficult to attribute specific events to global warming. Other expected effects include water scarcity, changes in mountain snowpack, adverse health effects from warmer temperatures, and the spread of disease.

Increasing deaths, displacements, and economic losses projected due to extreme weather attributed to global warming may be exacerbated by growing population densities in affected areas.[37] A summary of probable effects and recent understanding can be found in the report of the IPCC Working Group II;[36] the newer IPCC Fourth Assessment Report summary reports, "There is observational evidence for an increase of intense tropical cyclone activity in the North Atlantic since about 1970, correlated with increases of tropical sea surface temperatures. There are also suggestions of increased intense tropical cyclone activity in some other regions where concerns over data quality are greater. Multi-decadal variability and the quality of the tropical cyclone records prior to routine satellite observations in about 1970 complicate the detection of long-term trends in tropical cyclone activity. There is no clear trend in the annual numbers of tropical cyclones."[1]

Additional anticipated effects include sea level rise of 110 to 770 mm (0.36 to 2.5 feet) by 2100,[38] repercussions to agriculture, possible slowing of the thermohaline circulation, reductions in the ozone layer, increased intensity and frequency of hurricanes and extreme weather events, lowering of ocean pH, and the spread of diseases such as malaria and dengue fever. One study predicts 18% to 35% of a sample of 1,103 animal and plant species would be extinct by 2050, based on future climate projections.[39] Mechanistic studies have documented extinctions due to recent climate change: McLaughlin et al. documented two populations of Bay checkerspot butterfly being threatened by precipitation change.[40] Parmesan stated, "Few studies have been conducted at a scale that encompasses an entire species"[41] and also in 2002 McLaughlin et al. agreed "few mechanistic studies have linked extinctions to recent climate change."[40]

Rising food prices,shortage of water,both hotter and colder weather,

Ultimately,Famine,Wars and death

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result of heat waves ,as in France 2 years ago

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and most of the desserts we know are a results of mans actions ,and they are increasing

collectively this planet is drying up ,

each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

and there is less and less water (because of deforestation) and the overpumping of carbon and surface aquifers ,and more and more agriculture requires irrigation

Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe.because of desertification and if the sea levels rise thousands of hectares on coastal lands will b flooded

Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.
This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.

The farmers have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil.

Over the last half century,
Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million

In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .

potable water is getting at critical levels and people are already fighting over water this will only get worse

Answer 3

Hi am Mckenzie and am11 years old.global warming doesnt affect humans. humans affect global warming. all of the smoke and waste we are putting into the air causes the sun to be blocked. since the sun is blocked in warms different areas like places were there is glaciers. becauses of that there is a higher chance of level 5 hurricanes in the usa. hope that i helped!!! BYE!!!

Answer 5

Do you think of human beings are affecting international Warming? affecting climate sure , utilising climate no. For me international warming is an inadequate call and this is perplexing to confirm what it the asker potential via it. Do you comprehend the great impacts human beings are having on international Warming? no one does. There are plenty that faux to. i'm guessing maximum won't even evaluate the obtrusive advantages. what style of activities interior of your day do you do this you think of contributes to international Warming? (e.g. utilising your automobile, smoking?) you're contributing to international warming, in case you have interaction in some thing that the left does not like inclusive of utilising your SUV, smoking, ingesting meat, watering your backyard, shinning your leather-based footwear, throwing your water bottle into the trash, utilising plastic buying bags, venturing into the barren region without paying the state, take part in NASCAR, pay to your NRA club, and/or hammer your Sarah Palin 2012 placard into your backyard.

Answer 6

Well Global Warming puts lots of toxic gases into out air. When we breathe those gases the could get us very sick, and plus the ozone layer is thinning, it protects us from the sun's armful rays, with out that we would burn and die

Answer 7

Nothing !!!! If u watch the news Thear 30 ships caught in a late freeze up north and the ships can not get out. I believe they are going to send in an ice breaker to rescue the ships. Very late in the year for that kind of freeze.

Answer 8

Read the Bible.God said He will never flood the earth.
