What will be some future impacts global warming will cause??

Question

help please!

Answer 1

Just look backward in history. What was the Earth like when it was warmer? What kind of life was supported? Dinosaurs didn't worry about global cooling. Why should we worry about a natural warming process? To answer your question, it is hard to predict. Some species will become extinct as the woolly mammoth did. Others will adapt as humans did. Others will migrate or move. Plant life will change to fit the environment. Weather patterns will change. We cannot predict the weather now let alone in another temp. zone. Good luck!

1. Species diversity loss
As a result of warming, many habitats will be destroyed. Polar bears are already on the decrease, thanks to less hunting ground.

2. Species migration
As it gets hotter, organisms will tend to move poleward (either north or south, whichever is closer). So you'll see a vast decrease in the # of organisms at the equator, as it gets too hot there. Even a slight warming of 1 degree can devastate the delicate balance of a community.

3. Polar ice cap melting
We'll have higher ocean levels, meaning less land and less coastline. This will cause economic distress for coastal communities.

4. Less fresh water availability
Less rain, fewer icebergs. . .crops will fail. And unless we've created food that can thrive without a lot of water, many people will starve.


Basically, global warming will destroy the natural beaty of Earth as we know it. Thanks to being selfish, reckless and careless, humans have managed to mess up the world for the rest of the organisms we share it with.
