what is the picture of the earth in the next 100 years due to global warming??

Answer 1

Can't answer that question. The scientific evidence that supposedly proves global warming is tainted. Pro-global-warming groups are funding research that "proves" global warming (just like industrialists are funding research that "disproves" global warming). Besides, meteorologists can't tell us with any degree of accuracy what our weather is going to be like tomorrow, so how can you expect anyone to accurately tell you what the Earth is going to be like 100 years from now?

Answer 2

you're probably going to missing the arctic ice cap. I'd also expect the Greenland ice sheet to be gone. Might be some ice left in the Antarctic and Himalayan glacier but no other glaciers. All snow caps along mountain ranges should be gone except for the Himalayans.
The Amazon may be all burned off by wildfires. A lot of green forest areas may be burned off.
Supposedly Florida may be underwater if the sea level rises. Bangladesh and New Orleans delta should also be underwater but this is based on the idea that the sea level rises. It's just a question of how much it rises.
The Great Plains of the US may be a dust bowl again.

Answer 3

Based on historical and fossil records we could be headed to a near Utopia.

Storms will be weaker. Farm production will increase. Bio-diversity will increase globally.

We are not yet as warm as the world was prior to the Little Ice Age. (need another 3-5 degrees fahrenheit globally to get there) Prior to the little ice age (Search it, this is NOT theory or belief. This is historical and WELL DOCUMENTED FACT) western civilization in Europe was experiencing a rennaissance. Populations were growing. societies were flourishing. They were growing grades for wine in area where they still can not today. Europeans were growing foods in great abundance that can still not be grown today because of the colder and harsher climates of today.

The onset of the Little Ice Age brought on the dark ages, beubonic plague, greater poverty due to lower crop yeilds, more wars due to fewer resources to go around...


Life expectancies of our populations would increase (cold kills more than heat).

Do some research and avoid the cool aid and you will do fine while learning the facts vs. the propaganda.

Answer 4

well earth will get so hot the ice caps will be gone and with them it will take animal life then the whole world will heat up as much as 15 degrees. So here in Albuquerque it gets up to a hundred it will be 115 and in many cities in america get up to 100-115 but in 100 years it will be around 130 degrees. animal life will fall due to the fact they will not be us to the huge heat wave and many plants to there will be tons of fires and hot smog . From there the world will just get hotter and hotter. The ocean will rise tens of feet putting many cities under water...

Answer 5

Instead of being 76 degrees in Los Angeles, it is likely to be a balmy 77 degrees. The Artic will likely change even more and instead of being 44 below, it will only be 42 below zero.

Answer 6

will look something like this...
PS: there is no such thing as Global warming... don't let the politicians run your life... just so they can say they have a cause and a cure for it does not mean it really exists. Global warming just the earths way of breathing....

Answer 7

Below is a summary of some of the effects that we can expect to see within the next 100 years. It's adapted from a report I wrote a few months ago. There's an online summary of that report which includes citations and graphics - http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/future.html


Rising Temps
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
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° are likely 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

Big globe of water.

Answer 9

about the same as the last 100.....


...million

Answer 10

more water, many species extinct, sad humans.
