What can happen to us because of the global warming?

Question

Please informe what is going to happen in the next
100 years

Answer 1

No doomsday in next 100 years be assured..
We have no answer as yet; global warming is still little understood.

What we are observing at present is significant and perceptible micro to regional level weather and climate changes. Cause and effects relationship is not yet defined unanimously- These changes could be low time-period aberrations? or the beginning of long period natural cyclic processes.
A "100 year period change" cannot be a bench line test to come to a definite conclusion on "Global Warming".
Yes for improving quality of life on this unique planet we all have to contribute for sustainable and good practice development of resources.

Answer 2

No one can really predict this accurately. Here's a story to explain my thoughts on it...

I saw a guy in a work truck the other day, working for a company that builds "green" houses, throw a bunch of trash out his window... Why would he care so much about the future of our planet and still do this?

Because people love fads, that's why. Just another fad that companies are swelling our heads with ideas about so that they can make a quick dollar.

I think making a change is the right thing to do. But, If you decide to make a change, make it a life change. We can't take some magic weight loss pill and fix this. It's going to take a long time.

Answer 3

Globalization is the worst that will happen soon.

WORSE CASE SCENARIO

It will be far worse than projected in the end
No ways is any government going to admit ,
to the extend of the possibilities ,because they can do nothing to save the people ,and when the people realise that the governments will colapse.

Mass evacuations are out ,there is no place for people to go ,Global disasters mean global effects

with floods the people from the low lands cannot go any where else because other people will already be there ,

there is no food or water to sustain large crowds on the move .

and it will end up with people shooting those invading into their space.

the only thing one can do is not live in places that are easily affected ,by earthquackes,volcanos,tsunamis... ,hurricanes,desertification etc ,
And If and when something happens ,sit at home wait it out and having a party is the best thing to do

that is why religions are growing at present ,to prepare people for death ,and to accept it with out panic

LONG BEFORE become as autosuficient as you can because water and food are the first things to go,
SO we can expect 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


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

Animals ,insects and flora is dying because of differences in temperature ,because links in the food chains are effected.

come from Universities and American embassies WORLD WIDE ,

Answer 4

Well people would drown sadly enough, people in Africa's would die from starvation. In the UK there would be hotter climates and more deaths from storms. Most of America could end up underwater, Bangladesh would be an underwater city. Major cities would be lost ie New York, London, Tokyo.

Plus our children and children of today would live in pollutants,

Answer 5

100 years?i won't even be there anymore.but, anyways.global warming would give us the same effect of the greenhouse in plants.heat would be trapped inside the earth and it will cause the melting of glaciers in both poles,which would result to high tides.and eventually,some islands would go deep down.this would also increase the chance of us to have skin cancer.

Answer 6

its to long to express in words.. try watching the movie "the day after tomorrow" by Roland Emmerich. go to a video store near you and rent that movie. i believe that they have done a good job in visualizing what would happen. i can't believe that global warming points to ice age.

Answer 7

Here's an answer which has been condensed from a report I produced a few months ago, it's not specifically about the state of the planet in the next 100 years but about the future in general.

It's also been uploaded to a website where there's graphs and full citations - http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/future.html


RISING TEMPERATURES
The most extensive report into climate change and global warming was conducted by the IPCC and concluded that temperature rises of between 1.8°C and 4.0° should be expected by the end of the 21st century.


HEALTH IMPLICATIONS
In 2007 one person is dying every three minutes as a result of global warming, this figure is expected to double by 2020. The World Health Organisation predicts that rising temperatures will result in an additional 300,000 deaths and 10 million illnesses a year by 2030. This is in addition to the tens of millions of additional cases of malaria that the WHO expects to see.


ECOLOGICAL IMPACT
A quarter of the species of animals and plants could be extinct by 2050. More than three million square kilometres of Arctic sea ice has melted threatening the habitat of polar bears, experts predict that their numbers will ‘plummet’; the survival of grizzly bears is also threatened. Other species that are threatened include penguin, turtle, caribou, walrus, plankton, krill, whale, crab and seal.


ADVERSE WEATHER
In recent years there has been an 80% increase in the number of category 4 and 5 hurricanes. Along with cyclones, tornados and other storms the frequency looks set to keep increasing. The UK Met Office predicts a nine-fold increase in the extent of flooding within the next 50 years.

In 2003 a heatwave in Europe, one of many in recent years, claimed up to 50,000 lives, predictions are that the annual number of heat related deaths will increase significantly.


DROUGHT AND FAMINE
The heat is likely to greatly increase the number of forest fires, reduce timber production, impact on agricultural land and lead to more insect infestation which in turn impacts on crop production and human health.

Rising temperatures have a huge impact on food production, a 1°C rise equates to a 10% loss in grain production, areas already facing food shortages will be hardest hit. Warmer temperatures create severe drought conditions; billions of people will be affected by contaminated water, a lack of water or both, in China and south east Asia alone hundreds of millions will be affected.


RISING SEA LEVELS
Rising sea levels have already impacted hard on many island and coastal communities including the forced evacuation of their populations. Areas affected include Kenya, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Tuvalu, Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea, Micronesia, Maldives, Antigua and Bermuda. Sea levels have been rising for some time and predictions indicate further rises of between 200 and 600mm by the end of the century. In the US this would affect many coastal regions especially the coastlines of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, cities affected would include Boston, New York, Charleston, Miami and New Orleans.

OTHER EFFECTS
Some of the other impacts of global warming include: arctic warming, increased power outages, marine food chain disruption, changes to bird migration patterns, more wildfires, erosion, desertification, disappearing beaches, damage to tundra regions, impact on ozone layer, insect infestation, threat to boreal forests, coastal erosion, threat to mountain environments, loss of wetland and marshland habitats, decline in bird population, thawing of permafrost, increased acidity of oceans, release of further greenhouse gases, increased allergens (asthma etc), coral destruction and bleaching, loss of ocean conveyor belts (Gulf Stream) etc, loss of Arctic sea ice, impact on winter sports.

Answer 8

Flooding along the coast and damage to agriculture. Rich countries will cope, but it will cost them huge sums of money, and people will be poorer.

In poor countries already struggling to feed themselves, some people will die of starvation, due to damage to agriculture. More details here:

Answer 9

DEATH!!!! because of global warming, 20 died of heat stoke in pakistan for the past month at 52 decrees temperature.how many more will die because of severely hot temperature??????????all of us hence we should make move to avoid it by planting more tree....more and more more trees!!!!!

Answer 10

flooding of countries, VERY MAJOR shortage of drinking water, gonna feel like living on mercury, basically, we all die.
