is global warning going to affect the next generation if we dont do something about it??

Question

i want to know if we dont do anything about this will it affect the next generation or will the world end faster??

Answer 1

yes because the ice from the poles are melting and the water tempature increasing and thats why we have many things going around but we can stop that by using less oils in the air...

Answer 2

First, global warming will not end the world. It may change the weather, but the weather has changed before and will change again.

Now, will it affect the next generation. Probably a little. Not a lot, but a little. It simply will not be a catastrophe. It is not certain at this time if the effects will be good, bad or neither. But it definitely will not ever be bad enough to be a catastrophe and it will positively, 100% for certain NOT be the end of the world, even if we burn all the coal and oil in the world until it totally runs out.

Answer 3

Most definitely we should take action now, because it is going to affect people of the following generations. Altering the Earth's climate is a natural process in itself, but due to human disruptions, we are altering the delicate balance between stability and chaos. Nature has the tools necessary to correct some problems, but if we don't take action now, the Earth will continue to degrade. And it is the following generations who will have to suffer through it.

Answer 4

Doing something will affect the next generation, too.

All actions have consequences. None of us is wise enough to foresee all positive and negative consequences.

One thing is certain: hasty decisions almost always lead to poor ones with increased negative, unforeseen consequences.

Have you ever heard the idiom, "Out of the frying pan and into the fire"?

Answer 5

It won't end the world or kill everyone. But it will be very bad.

Coastal flooding will drive people from their homes, and we will lose billions of dollars worth of stuff. Damage to agriculture from drought will take more billions. The economic losses may trigger a worldwide depression.

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

But we could reduce it enough to cope. It's not easy but it's not that hard, either. Mostly conserve energy and develop sources of energy other than fossil fuels. Here's the plan:

Answer 6

yes, it's already impacting them. I remember going to the beach or playing outside all day without my mother freaking out over lathering me up with SPF 1000

Droughts will cause us to pave over our greenery to conserve water.

More severe storms will limit travel and day to day activities..

Our fruit and veggie crops will be impacted - possibly making them something only for the wealthy.

The world may not end, but the quality and freedoms we now have will be diminished. Right now we have poor air quality days when kids and elderly shouldn't play or go outside - that can only get worse.

We work so hard to leaving our children set financially and academically and socially - but they need a healthy environment to truly thrive.

yes. surely it would affect the next generation.
